As contacts, status and text are different programs, there is a load time of approximately three seconds to start the application and show the chat window after I request to start a conversation from notifications or contact list if there is no instance of chat ui. Is not so much, but it's a noticeable delay. As a workaround I'm keeping a empty chat window open, just to keep the program open, but will be nice to have some real solution. Reproducible: Always
I would rather we fix the slow startup properly. There is an open bug on this somewhere.
