Build 1138 still stealing focus away from other apps

1 (or 1 or what, don't know what it means, but everyone else always write this to show their support - I think :)

Gordon, there have been many complaints about this, and several suggestions on how to solve it. A search through the JDK source reveals several other potential sources for this unfortunate behavior.

The last response from JetBrains on this issue was that 4.0 will ship with the unfortunate focus-stealing bug. They hope to be able to solve it in one of the minor updates planned to follow the initial 4.0 release.

We're all waiting eagerly for a solution. It probably a lot easier to fix than they might expect, but they seem to have down-prioritized the matter to get the initial 4.0 release out of the way.

Best regards,
Lars Ugleberg

It's really bad when IntelliJ updates from a series of externally modified
Jars. Then for every jar you get a dialog with a progress bar that steals
the focus (so for 20 jars you have to wait a long time, between 30 and 60
seconds and your computer is pretty much paralized in this time frame).

This is IDEA's most annoying behavior, and it's been this way forever.
It's got to get fixed.

I agree. A bunch of people at work are complaining about this behavior.

Please re-evaluate fixing this bug for 4.0

I agree too.

This behaviour has been a pet hate of mine for a long time now.
