Services Tab keeps popping up.
Hello!
I am using PyCharm for python & sql development. During work I typically open multiple query consoles and run queries in them. The SQL scripts I run are often broken up into multiple statements. Ex:
create temp table foo;
insert into foo;
delete from foo;
etc etc…
When running these I select all → run so that the statements run in order and I don't have to manually start each one. The issue is when I do this the services tab will ‘pop-up’ and go to that query consoles ‘output’ and bring itself to front whenever an individual statement completes, which blocks whatever I was viewing in the terminal or if I was viewing a different query consoles results. This can be very annoying when I have multiple query consoles open and running different scripts. Is there any way to prevent this?

I have a very similar problem in RustRover (2024.1.7, MBP M1, macOS 14.6.1), I have some HTTP requests saved in a scratch file that I sometimes run, and when I build a rust project or run/debug my code, Services tab just randomly pops open for no reason. I don't see a clear pattern on when it does that, but it's annoying as hell.
That would drive me crazy too. Unexpected tool windows stealing focus can really disrupt your workflow, especially when you're switching between files or reviewing output. It sounds like a UI behavior that should be configurable rather than forced. Hopefully JetBrains adds a clearer option to keep the Services tab from automatically coming to the front. Small interruptions like this can have a bigger impact on productivity than people realize. We see the same value in minimizing unnecessary disruptions when managing project workflows.
