Stop Analyst from stealing Windows' focus

When opening Spotfire, or when executing something that has "progress", it steals the focus from WindowsOS multiple times. This is very disruptive for the user.

While it loads I want to be able to surf the web, write e-mails or whatever my work demands. Without Spotfire stealing the focus of my keyboard, mouse and the sorting of my windows. If it was once, it would be less annoying (note that less is still annoying). But it does so multiple times.


This is quite an infuriating and annoying behavior.

    Hello Simon,

    Thank you for the feedback and for confirming this issue affects you too. Apology for the confusion caused by setting the status as "Already exists".

    Since multiple users have voted this issue, I've changed the status to "Needs info" so we can dig into it further. This does seem like a defect, so I'd really recommend creating a support ticket to get quicker help.

    Hello Juan, and thank for this idea.

    I was unable to reproduce this problem on my side, either when opening Spotfire or when performing columns or data function type calculations.

    I understand this is an annoying issue so I suggest you reach out to our support team.
