Chat window loses focus when another window pops up

Hi,
Often times when I'm typing in message in chat window and another window pops up (for example my crafting macro finishes a synth or Duty Finder window pops up), the chat box loses focus and by the time I notice, I've already pressed several letters on keyboard causing a bunch of additional random windows show up on screen.
Then I have to close all the useless windows and click back into chat box to finish writing the message.

Can't you make it so that when typing in chat message, this chat box doesn't lose focus to anything else? It's very annoying.

Yes, and on a related note, can the chat window please NOT revert to your default chat target when another window pops up?

So many times I could be typing a Tell to someone, another window pops up, then the chat target defaults to my LS and I end up saying something in LS chat that was meant for an individual! ><;

When i know i am got to be holding a Tell conversation, I do the whole right clcik>send tell and before i start typing i hit enter, it keeps there name as the default, and you talk just to them, yes, it makes it annoying to have to /s /fc /whatever to switch between stuff...i think there should be an option for more tabs, or make it to where each window defaults where you want it to

Thanks! I didn't know that pressing Enter before typing a message will lock the Tell onto a single person. I'll try that later.

But I still think it would be nice for the chat window to not get reset or lose focus any time another window pops up while you're typing -- for instance while crafting, this happens a lot.
