Ok. My screen layout has the notify list in the bottom-right corner, sort of tucked under a few other windows.

In 6.3, the notify window grabs focus whenever a server connect occurs.

In other words, if I get dropped from a server (usually a connection issue), and reconnect, the Notify window becoms the focused on top window, rather than the previously active window.

The Notify List now also shows up on the switchbar, and requires a '/window -h "Notify List"', then re-opening in order to show the notify list without appearing on the switch bar.

I've not found any option to turn either of these behaviour's off.
