Why is MS Teams jumping to a different chat than the one I chose to be in?

When I'm in a MS Teams chat with someone, it just jumps to another chat without notice. It happens when I'm not clicking on anything.

This is the version I have:

    I have what seems to be a positive update :-)

    I've been on this version for over a week and haven't had the chat window change up for me.

    Hope everyone else has the same results!

    Exactly same version here, and unfortunately jumping still continues, just tested on the method of leaving a spesific chat to go to a channel, moving back to Chat area and pressing letter K - Teams directs me to a different chat, where I am chatting with a person whose name starts with K.

    Really glad it was solved for you tho :D :)

    Well... the behavior you're describing still happens for me but that might be by MS Teams design (good or bad design I guess on who you ask :-) ).

    What was happening to me was that as I was typing in a particular chat, MS Teams would jump to another chat, take that text I had typed and place it there so I'd send the message to the wrong person/group if I wasn't careful. That behavior has gone away with this version.

    So, I believe this is by design, I have been able to recreate it every time. It looks like they are using the first letter of a person's name as a "shortcut" key to take you to their chat. For example, if you are chatting with someone and go to a Teams channel and then back to chat, if you don't put your cursor in the chat field for that person or actually click on their name in your chat list it will "jump" you to the next person in your chat list that starts with the first letter you type. This is a very annoying "feature" if you ask me.
