Typing while docking *a small UI upgrade*

I'm regularly on these forums, and have never seen this idea. Searched, and likewise nothing. Its not even really an idea, more of a UI modification that makes sense.

Anyways, so I've been paying my $15 per month to use all these lovely chatboxes with spaceships in the backround.

Well over half my time logged in is spent typing to other people. And we've had some improvements lately in that regard (new font, condensed lists, etc.) but recently I've been having this problem, and it involves chatting while coming home from a fleet.

So you're in zombie mode going home, and chatting with your corpies, and alliance mates, switching between all your boxes, hitting enter periodically, etc.

Typing while docking works, but then you hit enter.

ENTERING CAPTAINS QUARTERS

Now, I don't have the best computer ever. I don't use captain's quarters. Ever. It is useless, it lags my computer, causes it to overheat, takes too long to load, and I'm an old fashioned capsuleer anyways. I like the ship hanger.

CCP, why is the default box selected the enter captains quarters? And why does it do it all the time?

I can't be the only one this happens to and frustrates.

Anyone?

Yeah, it's frustrating.

You can disable the captain's quarters can't you? Same way you get classic station mode?

I like big guns. I can not lie. You other suckas can't deny. When I warp in, with an itty bity sig, with an arty in your face, you get sprung. You want to pull out your debuffs, 'cause you want to loot my stuff...deep, in a worm with nary, an escape but you can't stop staring. 'Cause, Oh crap!, Baby's got Point!

Yep. But the button still stays on the station panel. and its highlighted when you enter station. So if you're typing and hit enter, it enters CQ anyways.
