Description Heiko Schaefer 2006-04-18 10:46:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

If I have several chats in one chat window and the option "Open chat on new message" in the custom notifications and this contact writes a message, the tab is automatically changed to this person.
Sometimes I'm typing to the other contact and then a part of the typing is going to the wrong chat.

Is it possible if there are multiple chats open to avoid this behaviour?
I tried a lot of configuration option combinations, but to no avail.

My wish would be, that if the chat window is open, this annoying switch would not occur anymore.

I use the most recent SVN version of Kopete.

Comment 2 Jan Ritzerfeld 2006-04-21 20:53:31 UTC

No solution, just for the records: The custom chat notification simply calls Kopete::MetaContact::execute(), that's exactly the same as clicking on a meta contact. This explains why the newly opened chat gets the focus and no configuration option will prevent it.

Comment 3 Heiko Schaefer 2006-04-22 10:51:09 UTC

What about an extra check in Contact::execute() if the contact is already openened in a tab in the chat window? If so, don't raise, only highlight the tab header.

Don't switch tabs while chatting

This tiny patch makes the chat window doesn't switch to another tab while
chatting, i.e. while the chat window is active and has the keyboard focus.
Please check and modify if neccessary.

Does this problem happen in KDE 4.6.1?
