There's an apparent bug which can get triggered when someone who is
eliminated then has connection problems. It is now constantly trying
to reconnect to him, which adds a line to the Connection Log Window,
which takes the focus from wherever else you are in the game. Takes
away hot keys, the right click menus and basically any ability to type
in the chat window. Perhaps the connection log window shouldn't grab
focus automatically.
I was not able to reproduce that effect. It let's me, as a dead player, reconnect; works like a charm.
Also there's no "every second" telling something for "tries to reconnect case" by itself. There's a "every second telling something" in the case if writing data to that client has issues. That might be looked into.
I'd not like to remove the "take focus" fully - at least first time there's something to report it would be good to come up.
But perhaps if there's many things to be printed, upon 3rd time or so, or "more than 5 within last 3 seconds", stop grabbing focus then.
