#12641: Protocol Handler Should Bring Focus to Tabbed IM Window

     Type:  defect                 |    Status:  new     
Component:  winpidgin (gtk)        |   Version:  2.7.3   
 Keywords:  Protocol Handler Link  |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 When clicking on a link with a registered protocol (aim:, xmpp:, etc),
 pidgin does not bring window focus to the corresponding user when IM
 windows are tabbed. Sometimes the IM window does not even get focus.

 This appears to be a bug because when a new IM is received when the chat
 window doesn't have focus, double clicking on pidgin's tray icon will
 bring the chat window to focus and will select the tab of the
 corresponding new IM.

 Here is how to recreate the defect.

 1. Create a new windows shortcut by right clicking on the desktop and
 selecting New -> Shortcut.

 2. Point the shortcut to xmpp:user at gmail.com?message for gmail / gchat or
 aim:goim?screenname=UserScreenName for aim.

 3. Name the shortcut.

 4. Open up pidgin and start chats with multiple users.

 5. Double click the newly created shortcut.


 Ideally the chat window should be brought to the foreground, given focus
 and the tab for the corresponding user should be the currently active tab.
 Unfortunately this is not the case.

 If you need any more information or clarification, please let me know.

 Thank You.
