That's the whole point of the OSD plugin.
It is/was not meant as a replacement for the conversation window!

Neither meant for looking at the _entire_ convo (which is impossible anyways, since some convo's can span more than the height of your screen), nor meant as a replacement to actually chat.

The purpose is to see incomming messages. If you want to engage into the conversation you will always need to go to the actual conversation window (by either alt-tabbing to it, or maybe by clicking on the OSD line of that conversation).

Compare it to a more elaborate toast when a new message arrives from a minimized convo.

imho, it doesn't make much sense either to create a replacement for the conversation window anyways. If you're behind your keyboard and not using any full screen app or watching a video or something, you might as well open the actual convo and chat in that way, using all the bells and whistles it provides. The OSD is handy if you're in a full screen app, or if you're away from your PC but you can see its screen with the screensaver or something.
