Comment (by Apewall):

 I'm not sure the new behavior makes any more sense then the old one.

 Typing notifications in the conversation window really has nothing to do
 with the conversation that is going on, and just clutters the conversation
 window while your friend slams away at his keyboard and edits their text
 repeatedly.

 I thought the "detailed information bar" was more logical if anything, as
 typing is not NEED TO KNOW information vital to the chat.

 Pidgin's older icon system for notifying while not in line with other chat
 programs, provided a much less cluttering way of notifying the user of the
 event.

 Personally I prefer using tabs for seeing the notification.
