Alt-Tabbing when I receive a message

[Gato]

It didn't happen in the old client, whenever I'm playing a game and I receive a message (so a new window with the chat opens up) it alt-tabs to the desktop. The same happens if from the game overlay of steam I open a chat from the friendlist, it alt-tabs. If I close the chat and reopen it or open a chat of another friend, guess what, it alt-tabs. It's VERY annoying especially if we're talking about csgo and other similar games where alt tabbing is VERY slow and buggy, and in the case of csgo if you're playing competitive, such thing happening is totally unacceptable.

VALVE PLEASE FIX.
(I've always wanted to say that)

I guess no one of you guys ever heared of the developement stadium called "Beta" didn't you?

Well let me enlight you:
The Beta-Stadium is a stadium, where the basic functions of the desired system are implemented but not tested and fixed yet. This means the product is unfinished.

Yes it happens that an unfinished product has bugs in it. Thats what the Beta is meant to be used for. It is rolled out to be tested in a non-idealized environment (called reality). Thats where bugs that you could never find in laboratory-testings will be revealed so the developer-team can fix them.

So instead of flaming around because you don't know what it takes to build a propper application, you could better start using this forum https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/0/ to report things that you think that are unintended or you can use this section https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/10/ to give some suggestions for future updates, that you would like to see.
How does that sound?

b34tZ it isn't a beta, and we know it isn't free from bugs, no need to try acting smart, you're just being cringe like this. So don't do that ever again, you'll just look r.etarded to others.

Any fix, cause this is happening to me.

[Gato]

I contacted steam support a bunch of months ago, they couldn't help me out, and addressing the issue to the Operating System, more than steam itself. Idk which one is the fault, but one sure thing is that it started happening since the new steam friendlist, so eh.

+1 nah i dont have that problem but when ever i get a group pop up i go to steam and thats my problem

Its your anti-virus grabbing focus from the window

Its not a problem with the client or the chat

Add a whitelist for Steam's subprocesses in your anti-virus

[Gato]

I don't have an anti virus since XP times and this still happens nowdays AFTER the new chat Update, and the devs knows about this issue on certain PCs.
