Also, whenever someone messages me from within a tabbed chat, the flashbar flashes the name of the original user with whom i was speaking to, making believe the person is messaging you when really it's another one of your contacts messaging you.. let me know if you didn't understand i'll try to explain it better
This is unrelated and offtopic. Anyways, yes that is how tabbed chats work. If it would indicate the person who send you a message in the taskbar button, the window itself will switch to that chat tab too, and that will cause even more confusion and possible sending text to the wrong person (imagine you are busy typing, the tab changes automatically and you didn't notice, you are still typing and you press enter... the text will be send to the wrong person).
This said, it could be "fixed" though, so the correct person is shown in only the taskbar button, but that isn't so easy to implement and I doubt this will change anytime soon.
To see a "proof of concept" script which does this, see: "CookieRevised's reply to Tabbed Chats - wrong contact".
