 * Patchstack is great, and the plugin works very well. But you guys have to stop
   hijacking the flow when activating the plugin, please!
 * As we activate, we are transported automatically to the patchstack settings page.
   Which is fine if we are only activating patchstack (not really, I like to control
   my navigation, but ok), but sometimes, specially in debugging, we are activating
   more than one plugin. So that hijack that patchstack does actually stop the activation
   of any plugins below it, and take us the the settings page. Although it is a 
   pain to go back to the plugins page to continue activating them, it is even worse
   when we forget this and continue to debug only to remember after a bunch of hair
   pulled out that the new bugs are due to plugins not activated because the funny
   Patchstack redirect.

 * Hi there!
   Thank you for the feedback. We have backlogged it, and will address
   this in the next plugin version. The redirection will then not happen, if the
   plugin had already been previously set up.
 * Feel free to always turn directly to our support (chat on our website), if you
   have any questions. 😊
