"Synchronizing Modified Files" dialog keeps popping up in build 977
Once I upgraded to build 977, I noticed this popup dialog title "Synchronizing Modified Files" kept popping up all the time, sometimes interrupting my work. It pops up for a split second and then goes away.
It seems to be happening alot when I am running certain Ant tasks in the background.
Please don't popup information dialogs because it is very distracting and can disrupt your work. Animate an icon or something..

This is happening all the time for me. It is happening when I switch between two project windows or switch between IDEA and another application. Sometimes, the dialog flashes 2-3 times in a row.
Did something change in build 977 related to file synchronization?

I think they're going to adjust the dialog so that it doesn't popup
unless the synchronization takes longer than a few seconds.
Ciao,

It steals focus from other applications all the time. It's diving me nuts -
every time I switch briefly from another window to IDEA and back it grabs
focus and bring itself to the front.

Right, the dialog should either be removed, made configurable or at
least should open after a few (maybe configurable) seconds of silent
synchronization. It should of course in no case steal the focus of any
other application.

It's a known issue and it was fixed in some build just after #977.

Like progress monitor concept - it must be show if synchronizing delay is
more that 1-2 sec.

I've not usually the type to encourage the release of anything before a developer thinks it's ready, but please, please release the next EAP build containing this fix as soon as possible.
Actions as simple as navigating the src tree and pulling down menus are excruciatingly annoying with the constant loss of focus occurring every time these window blips come up.
