Message Window grabbing/stealing focus on incoming message

[xernog]

Message Windows steals focus when there's an incoming message.

The behaviour started after I upgraded to the latest stable version ~24 hours ago (v0.95.11 i think), I don't know what version I updated from but I changed nothing else.
I have tried the latest stable and development build with identical results.

xernog,
in which plugin? StdMsg, Scriver or tabSRMM?

[xernog]

I'm assuming StdMsg?

I have the tabSRMM plugin deactivated and the Scriver plugin isn't installed.

[xernog]

I've updated again and that did not fix my issue.

Installing Scriver did.
With some UI tweaking this solved my issue.

Side-note: Where would I report a mix-up in the english language options for the Scriver plugin?

Where would I report a mix-up in the english language options for the Scriver plugin?

right here

Message Windows steals focus when there's an incoming message.

fixed

Perhaps related to "Miranda v0.95.11 - Window Blink Bug"

no, that's a separate issue

[xernog]

Scriver Options for transparency appear reversed active <-> inactive.

fixed

Thank you kindly!

[ghazan]

Scriver Options for transparency appear reversed active <-> inactive.

[xernog]

Both issues are fixed for me, thank you very much.

This is intentional "thread necromancy" as the same issue has returned.

"Message Windows steals focus when there's an incoming message."

I'm not sure when it started but most likely less than a week ago.
