[Users] Keep chatapp opened in background (ModernUI)

[Frédéric Nass]

Hello, 

I have a question regarding how apps work in ModernUI. 

With Rocket.Chat zimlet in Classic interface, once Chat tab was opened, it would stay opened in the background would the user switch back to Mail tab or any other tab, allowing chat alerts to popup on new messages to get user attention. 

With Rocket.Chat zimlet in ModernUI (or AnyFrame Zimlet loading Rocket.Chat website), when the user opens the Rocket.Chat "chatapps" ( [ https://test-mail.univ-lorraine.fr/modern/chatapps/rocketchat | https://test-mail.univ-lorraine.fr/modern/chatapps/rocketchat ] ) or the AnyFrame tab and then go back to Mail app, it seems like the Rocket.Chat "chatapps" doesn't stay opened in background as if the user goes to Mail app and then back to Rocket.Chat "chatapps", the Rocket.Chat interface is reloaded. 

Does Rocket.Chat website actually stays opened in the background and I don't see it because it reloads every time I click on the Rocket.Chat "chatapps"? 

If yes, then can we prevent the app from reloading if it has already been loaded? 
If no, then is it possible to keep an app opened in the background and have it interacting with the main interface (either using the RC zimlet or the AnyFrame zimlet)? Even better have the app being loaded in the background when user logs into ModernUI? 

Thank you for any help you might provide us with. 

Bests, 
Frédéric.
