Crafting interrupts typing in chat

Thread Name: Crafting interrupts typing in chat

On 10/8/2013 at 6:00 PM PST I was typing in chat while crafting using the in-game macro function. Upon completing the crafting action, focus moved from the chat pane to the crafting window, causing all subsequent typing to perform hotkey functions instead of typing in the chat window. It also removed my chat channel, which was a tell to an individual. Hitting the enter key to return to chat, and completing the sentence, caused the chat text to appear in the 'Say' channel instead of going to the intended recipient.

/ac "Basic Touch" <me>
/wait 3
/ac "Basic Touch" <me>
/wait 3
/ac "Basic Touch" <me>

/ac "Basic Synthesis" <me>

2. Reply to a tell using ALT-R

4. Become annoyed as multiple windows are opened up all over the screen.
5. Press 'Enter' on the keyboard to bring focus back to the chat pane.
6. Finish typing to the intended recipient.
7. Press 'enter' to send the tell.
8. Become annoyed as the text is sent to the 'Say' channel instead of its intended recipient.
