A small suggestion that will make a huge difference:

Return the input focus to the main window after any action (by the player or the game) on secondary windows is taken (including closing a secondary window).

As it is now every time I click on the log window or any other secondary window or even when there is a log entry without me clicking anywhere, the input focus shifts to that window disabling all my hotkeys. I have to mouse click back into the main window before any of the keys start working again.

It is a minor annoyance but I believe it is something easily addressed.

We tried it in the past. Believe me, it's anything but trivial.

Is the problem the actual setting of the focus or that it has to be done in too many places? Because in my own applications I had no problem making sure the window I wanted had the focus (using standard win32 C++).

My issue with the main window losing focus is that hitting enter on the numpad doesn't drop the speed back down to 1 second. This can lead to nasty mishaps which is very annoying. I MUCH prefer having the message log as a separate window, but by doing this I am plagued by it stealing the focus at a critical time! Can you make the message log window listen to key presses relating to the time compression setting?

That's the only really tiresome focus issue I suffer from...
