When chatting with more than one person the focus of the window changes to whomever IMs you. Breaking typing flow.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Sign into meebo account
2.Start two conversations (person A and B)
3.Start typing to person A
4.While trying to person A have person B message you
5.The textbox you're tying into will change from person A to B
Actual Results:  
When another IM is received it breaks the flow of typing by automatically switching text fields. 

Expected Results:  
When another IM is received it doesn't break the flow of typing. It instead pops up, and blinks indicating there is a new IM waiting.

I tried safe mode. I also tried this on multiple computers with clean installations of windows 7 and firefox. It still occurs even with the latest updates.

Hey Noah,
Can you still reproduce this or should we close it?

Thanks for asking! I think it is safe to assume this is no longer an issue as Meebo was acquired by Google in 2012, folded into Google+, and then shutdown.
