Seems like with Dusty's last edit to the housing procedure, wherein he made the status screen NOT come up if you were clicking on your character at the same time as a furniture object, there has been some sort of spill over...

If I am in some one else's house (or even my own) and click another player who is standing on/near furniture, their profile does not come up either... This makes it very tough to interact through PM, kick from house, or check others' profiles.
