Originally created by @haasn on GitHub (Aug 20, 2016).

Currently, private messages in mumble are extremely awkward to use: the input box pops up as a separate dialog, and the messages go into the same chat output.

Coming from teamspeak3 this is very annoying, and I would prefer to have a teamspeak3-like tab-per-chat approach where clicking on a user opens up a new conversation tab with them, and messages typed into the command line go there by default.

@davidebeatrici Why is this priority critical?

Urgent and Important, will STOP the release; Regressions from the last version that are not edge cases; Data loss; FTBFS for platforms we don't provide binaries for; All but the most unlikely crashes/lockups/hanging; Serious usability issues and embarrassing bugs; Bugs critical to a deliverable

Changed to priority/P2 - Important:

Not Urgent, should be fixed, but will not stop the release.
