I am unable to reproduce this issue here. I connect to a server, join a channel, switch to the status window, and disconnect. I then reconnect. The focus remains in the status window, even though the existing channel window is automatically rejoined.
Have you tried testing this with a clean install of mIRC to see if it still happens?
I forgot to mention it steals focus from other programs on reconnect after an time out. And after good reading the other thread i have problems with an other focus problem then discussed in the other thread. I did not test with an clean install but i dont use addon's/scripts that modify settings.
Steps to repoduce:
1 Connect to server
2 Set focus on other program
3 Make mIRC time out some how
4. Wait till mirc reconnects and steals focus
(Don''t slap me :<)
