While I appreciate Chris' fast reply to above reports of the Messages bugs, his prior post is a concern. Could it be that 500 practices were using version 10.1 without noticing the bug? Maybe the beta is being tested by the wrong practices. The users on the top of this thread noticed the bug within a few minutes of each other, and reported it here. Maybe they should be in the test group.

Also, I don't find this failure to auto-delete trivial, especially since it requires a change in behavior by AC users relative to Messages. Yes true, refreshing was always necessary to see new messages, but not after messages were acted on. As Naeem mentions in his post above, I have found myself opening the wrong chart occasionally, since the message doesn't go away as before. We don't need a new potential source of documentation errors caused by our EMR:
