Console steals focus (Win)

[daxliniere]

Describe the problem

When the Output Console is updated (during uploads, software updates, etc), it continually steals focus and it's REALLY frustrating.

To reproduce

Often I will start a sketch uploading, then go to another program to work while the compile and upload completes.
Unfortunately, every time the output console it updated, the Arduino IDE window is brought into focus.

Expected behavior

Do not steal focus.

Arduino IDE version

2.3.5

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

10 Pro

@per1234 could you take a look at this, please?

@daxliniere @dg6nee this bug was fixed back in April: #2681

You are still experiencing the bug because you are using an outdated version of Arduino IDE. Please update to the latest version 2.3.6. You can download it from the "Software" page of the Arduino website:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/

@daxliniere in the future, please make sure to test using the latest nightly build before submitting an issue:

Hi Per, thanks for the reply. I used Help->Check for Arduino IDE updates and nothing happens, so I figured this had to be the latest version.
I guess that's another bug, but I won't be able to check if that's resolved in the latest build until there is a new public build.
Either way, I'll install 2.3.6, thank you.

I guess that's another bug

That is correct (#2696). It has also been fixed in version 2.3.6: #2697

You rock, Per, thanks so much. :)
