Coming not a fortnight after our last update to the client, this one reeks of a “whoops” – and yes it does look like it could fix some amusing/embarrassing issues. The Office 2013-based client jumps 10 builds to 15.0.5059.1000 courtesy of Kb4032250.
What’s Fixed
- Kb4346579 User’s display name that has special characters is shown with an emoticon in Skype for Business
- Kb4346578 Can’t input messages until clicking participants list after taking control in screen sharing in Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013)
- Kb4346577 The display name with an ampersand (&) is incorrectly shown in IM conversation window in Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013)

Pre-Req’s
It’s all good if you’ve been diligent in your patching.
If however your patching isn’t to current you’ll need to check you have *all* of these pre-req’s. The Office 2013 SP1 requirement still applies if you’re using Outlook 2010. (Lync 2013 in all of its flavours – e.g. Lync Basic – is still a component of Office 2013).
