Subject: Chat window focus issues
I'm slighty (ok: hugly) frustrated right now. Here's the current behaviour of my Psi installation:
When a new messages comes in from a contact whose window is currently closed, that window will pop in the foreground and still the OS keyboard focus - which is incredibly frustrating. Once the window is open, this issue no longer occurs, it will stay in the background when new messages come in - for the most part that is. Because if there are multiple chat windows open, and you are currently typing in one, incoming messages in other windows will steal the focus once again.
This started to appear recently. It worked fine before, and I don't remember changing anything. I tried any number of combinations of the following options, but in case I can see an effect at all, it's never quite what I want (no focus stealing):
Events/Auto-open new messages
Events/Raise roster window on new event
Chat/Raise chat window on receiving new messages
Chat/Alert chat messages even if chat window is open
In fact, when guiding a friend through the Psi installation a couple weeks before, he had the exact some problem as I do now. We went through all options to make sure we had configured Psi exactly the same, except it worked only for me. Well, no longer
Does anybody know which options exactly have to be set to what to make Psi chat windows not steal the focus, from anywhere, under any circumstance?
