Bug Description
Binary package hint: xchat
When you have many channels and different networks setup, and automatically connect to them, it's annoying that you have to wait until all channels have joined before you can start writing messages. If you start writing a message before you're connected to all networks, then focus is suddenly changed to another one. It would be better if it didn't do that for automatic joins, though it should do it on manual joins.
WORKAROUND:
In ~/.xchat2/

I can confirm this problem on XChat 2.8.4-0ubuntu7. If I start typing a message before all of the channels are auto-joined. The focus changes as the channels load and the message becomes splayed throughout the channels. While waiting would be an option in this case, cleaning up the splayed text and rewriting the message takes time and someone on a lot of networks may not want to wait until all of the channels are joined. Having the focus remain on the selected channel and not going to autojoined channels would fix this problem.
