Designer Loss/Gain Connection Screen Focus

Is there a method to prevent the Ignition designers from taking top priority on screen focus when a connection is lost or reconnected, or can a this be considered a feature request?
This is extremely annoying let’s say when you have 20 designers open and have to reconnect to a VPN.
I thought I was onto something with the Windows 11 Focus Assist, but that didn’t help the situation.

I would agree with this statement below. Is there a particular reason the designers were made with this feature? It actually does steal my keyboard and mouse focus at a point where I might be typing in my login creds on another window and all the sudden my username or password are then being typed in an Ignition script panel. That is not a behavior I would think should be desired by your users, imo.
It’s not possible for Windows to block all programs from stealing focus and still work properly; it just isn’t built with the brain to understand it.
Ideally, no other program except the one you’re using should accept input from the mouse and keyboard, and the window should stay on top of all the others you’re not currently using.
