When windows steal focus in macOS. If I am opening an app it should be able to open in the background while I do something else. Same with a “file copy” dialog in Finder. So many apps and windows repeatedly steal focus and push themselves to the top and it’s so frustrating.
Oh Christ yes. If I’m using an app, then I don’t give a shit if another app wants my attention.
Yes! Don't you bounce your icon at me, bitch. I see you and I will get there when I'm ready.
I hate this so much! Some apps do this even multiple times during startup.
Yes! You push them to the background and then they jump back up front again. Who asked for this? Why is this? Whyyy???
To be fair this also happens in Windows (Zoom anyone?) and probably Linux too, although for the latter that may be customizable.
Yep, this bad design is everywhere. Typing my password when a text editor opens…
It's even worse when using stage manager
Yes! If you have a full screen app open with stage manager active on your primary desktop, swiping between the full screen app and the desktop basically becomes a game of app roulette.
It is possible to turn this off. I did.
So… do you mind telling the rest of us how to do this? I don't see a setting anywhere to change this behavior.
