Identifier	#2410
Issue type	Trivial issue (does not break functionality)
Title	Ambiguous message when closing IM window due to end chat
Status	Closed (cannot reproduce)
Handling member	Chris Graham
Addon	chat
Description	If, say, I'm in an IM conversation with someone else, and the other person ends the chat... I get a message on my IM window about preferring not to close the window but instead ending the chat. This is useful if the chat is still ongoing and I try to close the window. But it's ambiguous in this case. Something better would be a message telling the user that the other party ended the chat and thus the window will now be closed.
Steps to reproduce
Funded?	No

When a member leaves the chat there's nothing to auto-close the window. Actually I tested and found a different bug, it didn't even detect the situation when using site-wide-IMs (I've just fixed that).

The only things that can cause the window to close is a lost Internet connection, a click of the end chat button, or normal user window management.

Hmm weird because every now and then I'll get that message without even clicking anything... and later I find out from the user I was talking with that she accidentally ended the chat.
