One of my chat partners (Windows 7, Ricochet 1.0.4) complains, that the chat window sometimes doesn't blink after receiving new messages. I can reproduce the problem with a build from current master on Windows 8.1 with following steps:

  • from windows start a chat to another system. Keep the chat window at front.
  • send a reply from the other system. The taskbar on Windows starts blinking.
  • wait until the blinking stops. You might exchange further messages.
  • from now on the chat window on Windows won't blink until you minimize and restore it

Thus to minimize a chat window on Windows you have to minimize, restore, minimize.

On Windows a chat window in the background sometimes doesn't notify the
user about new messages. It seems, that this is caused by the alert
of an already active window. Thus checking if the window hasn't already
active focus prevents above mentioned behavior.
