Text entry in chat does not automatically receive focus when switching

(Windows) When switching tabs, either manually or through Ctrl+K, the message entry field does not automatically receive focus. Especially for Ctrl+K, where I am trying to avoid the use of the mouse, I would expect that I can just go ahead and type a message once I switch to the new chat, but now I am forced to move my mouse and click on the text entry field. (Or I can press Tab a couple of times until I see the caret in there :-)
