Minor bug, yet annoying. Even while in focus and in use, v2.2.2. locks out and asks for password after a while.

Hey @yidakee, thanks for pointing this out. This is because of the way the wallet encryption works. We inherited this functionality from Bitcoin (https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#walletpassphrase). Essentially you must specify an amount of time the wallet should be unlocked. We don't store this passphrase, so we can't automatically re-unlock the wallet based on interaction triggers when using the GUI.
