Why must we read IMs in bottom screen chat while chat/IMs window is opened?

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, here it is anyway:

WHEN YOU RECEIVE AN IM WHILE THE IM/CHAT WINDOW IS OPENED THE IMs STILL CONTINUE TO APPEAR IN THE CHAT !!!

It was not doing this before. It is very annoying.
I checked the preferences and can't find something to stop this.
With the chat/Ims window opened let's say on top screen, you still must read the appearing IMs of the conversation already in the window duplicated on bottom of screen !!!!! Really VERY VERY annoying.

Also when you left click something in the menus there is an annoying sound.
Now have to permanently turn the UI sound level down.
Then there is no need to have the UI sound bar level....
I checked the preferences and can't find something to stop this.

This new version is a disaster....
Any solution to stop this?

there is in preferences something to help with the ims being in chat (i think)

under communication, it says "include ims in chat history"

if that is checked maybe that is causing it

its only a guess

... and an incorrect guess.

I agree, this change to IM behavior is not an improvement.

If you agree, please vote to fix it:
