Chat window does not get focus (TV12 or QS11)

On the host, the chat window is not a standalone window. It seems it is an extension to the connection window. So if the focus is not on the connection window, one cannot input text in the chat window. Directly clicking on the chat window does not give the focus to the connection window.

This is particularly impeding because usually, the host is on the side of the users who don't know how to use TeamViewer.
