Bug Description

I am using Ubuntu 13.04 beta Gnome shell 3.7.92 . I have a small issue with integrated messaging. When some one messages me, I get a notification popup but the input text area is disabled by default. I have to take mouse to the input text area , click in text area section and then enter the message. Its kind of counter productive. As in earlier versions (3.6, 3.4), as I just hover my mouse on notification, I should be able to enter the text in chat input area without actually taking the mouse to input text area and clicking. It saves me one mouse click. Please fix it.

Thanks!

This bug is partially fixed in Gnome shell 3.10. When some one messages me, a popup opens at bottom center of the screen. When I move the cursor to the popup, focus will be automatically shifted to text area and I can write text directly without any mouse clicks in text area.

But the other part is not fixed. If I open the popup by clicking the icon at right bottom of the screen, popup opens but focus doesn't shift to text area. I have to place the cursor at text area and then write text. So additional clicks here. First I have to move to messaging area, then click on icon present in right bottom panel and then click on text area of popup to write text.

Can you please auto focus in the text area the moment I click on icon present in right bottom panel so that I can enter text directly - saves click ( in text area)

Thanks!
