I don't know if I can explain this properly, but I'll try. This pertains especially to smartphone use:
When a game table is newly created, and prior to game launch, there is a chat window for that table. If we are watching that Table chat, or worse, when we are typing into it, and should some player anywhere type in a message into General chat, our Table chat window is rudely interrupted and minimized and the focus is stolen by the General chat.
It doesn't matter if we completely close that General Chat window and go back to typing in or reading our Table Chat, as soon as someone types in another General chat, our Table Chat is once again interrupted and minimized and we are forced to re-close the General chat and re-maximize the Table chat and try to start over. Sometimes we are forced to endure this repeatedly before we can discuss options about the game we are about to launch.
I would say that once I have joined into a game table and have started to chat with table mates, I have *zero* interest in having my Table chat window replaced by General chat. Maybe some people do, but don't want the General chat window to re-open in front of me once I have closed it.
Please change this so that our Table chat is undisturbed by General chat.
