Description Giovanni Campagna 2012-11-26 22:21:42 UTC 
... or MUC rooms should ignore that setting.

Otherwise you by default IRC mentions are broken.

What's this setting exactly? Should we set it for all notifications or only the MUC ones?
Comment 2 Giovanni Campagna 2012-11-28 17:20:25 UTC 
I'm referring to src/empathy-chat-window.c:1544 (chat_window_show_or_update_notification).
It checks for notification-focus for all notifications that are generated while the window is opened but not focused, and if that is false (which it is by default) nothing is emitted.

This means that your name is mentioned, or you see a new private message, and don't notice it until you check the window again.

Note that for private chats the setting is irrelevant as the notification would be filtered out by the shell anyway.

Oh I see, I fixed this in master. Thanks for your report.
