I found a workaround: Open ~/.xchat2/xchat.conf and set tab_new_to_front to zero.
** Changed in: xchat (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xchat When you have many channels and different networks setup, and automatically connect to them, it's annoying that you have to wait until all channels have joined before you can start writing messages. If you start writing a message before you're connected to all networks, then focus is suddenly changed to another one. It would be better if it didn't do that for automatic joins, though it should do it on manual joins. + + WORKAROUND: + In ~/.xchat2/xchat.conf set tab_new_to_front = 0 -- Xchat changes focus to new channels after automatic joins on connect and clears highlight https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
