First of all, let me address your report itself.

"This problem is exist already with Kopete, described here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54194 and this issue got very much votes,
so the problem is serious and must be fixed!"

That report is from 2003 and has only 295. That's in /no way/ "very much
votes". There are bugs with >1000 votes on them and they are way newer than
2003. So this in no way says "the problem is serious".

"So the problem is serious for usability and must be fixed via any way..."

Sorry, are you an usability expert? Where is your usability study to support
such claim?

(bunch of provided examples)

Thanks for doing the homework.

==Now to the problem at hand==

I agree that having more than say 5 opened tabs is not really usable with our
client, we didn't design it to handle that (btw. did it occur to you that you
may be using it wrong? ;) Looking at other very popular chat clients - nobody
actually cares about this. I'm not saying we won't, but since nobody ever
complained about it, we ourselves give it very low priority as we have more
important things to fix (which /are/ serious problems).

Nevertheless, thanks for the report.
