True, but I think that its far worse now than it could be. I.e. here are the
three choices for regular users (mind you, I'm still trying to learn Cocoa
myself so I can fix these annoyances myself)
Now: Windows always take focus, constantly interrupting chat and mixing text
typed across chat windows
Short term fix: Windows never take focus. User has to click. At least then
normal chat operation won't be interrupted.
Long term fix: Windows take focus when no chat is going on. Windows do not
take focus when a chat is going on.
