AnyChart has discovered bug in Skype. Skype promises to fix it ASAP.

Alex Batsuev — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:05:09 +0000

We were getting strange bug reports during several years, and the main idea of that reports is the fact that memory in Internet Explorer 6/7 with Flash Player 9/10 leaks when user refreshes the page. We have spent a lot of time and money trying to locate it, we lost a lot of clients. It was a nightmare for everybody in our support and development teams. We have blamed Adobe and Microsoft, but we never could even think that it is not their fault. And today the miracle has happened. We have tested on two different PCs: one of of them had the memory leak, the second one did not. And the reason of the problem was… Internet Explorer Skype add-on.
