Vector does not mark a room as "read" until the mouse moves

[dakrone]

I switch to the vector tab in Firefox using the keyboard, read the messages, and then switch away.

However, if I don't move the mouse, Vector doesn't actually mark the room as "read".

It would be great if vector could mark the particular room as "read" when I entered the tab so I don't have to wiggle the mouse.

looks like we should be able to use the focus/blur events on window for this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1760250/how-to-tell-if-browser-tab-is-active). This should be fairly easy to do.

i suggest the heuristic here is that the window needs to have been focused for at least a few hundred ms before it's declared 'read'.

It seems that there is currently a "few hundred ms" delay while reading, which is way too slow and means that scrolling through the unread messages will leave some of them marked unread.
