Focus stealing with a restart dialogue #328

Open Templayer opened 1 year ago

Templayer commented 1 year ago

I was just in the middle of writing a Teams (mandated by work) message, and just as I used the keyboard to send the message, bauh stole the focus with a dialogue asking if I want to restart after updating.

Which then restarted the computer without me really wanting to do that. :D

Preferred solution: A "Disable restart dialog" setting in settings. Maybe make a info text somewhere on the GUI (there are a few places where that could be shown) that says that "For all changes to apply, please restart your computer.", similar to the way the APK/DEB Store (Mint/Ubuntu) does it (and that would happen if the restart dialog is disabled).

Focus stealing is evil. Focus stealing with the user losing data from it is heresy. :D

Hi @Templayer , you are able to disable the restart dialog through Settings -> General -> Reboot After Upgrade ?

Ah, I'm blind! Thank you.

Even though implementing it in a less focus-stealing manner would still be nice. :P
