 This can happen in many ways but a simple example is to have 2 accounts,
 Acc1 requires a password, Acc2 doesn't and is set to autologin. While
 you're still typing in the password for Acc1, Acc2 logs in and pops up the
 chat window. Now your password is not being typed into the password box
 anymore. If you're really unlucky, Acc2 auto-joined a channel and you're
 sending the last half of your password to your IRC buddies.

 This is happening to me with Ubuntu's 2.2.1 . I don't have 2.2.2 to test
 this but I can't find a bug report for it, so I assume the behaviour has
 not been changed.
