#248: Control shouldn't steal focus from scrollback
------------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 Reporter:  fmoo                                      |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new                                       |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)                              |    Version:  2.0   
 Keywords:  control, alt, scrollback, focus stealing  |  
------------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 As it is (2.0beta6/win32) the arrow keys and shift key may be used to
 navigate and select scrollback in a conversation window, while other keys
 will return focus to the input box.

 I regularly select words at a time (for copy) using
 control+shift+left/right, but as soon as I release the control key, focus
 gets forced to the IM input box, preventing me from copying my text to the
 clipboard.  Alt probably shouldn't steal focus either.

 not sure if this is a winpidgin specific issue
