As a user,
I want your application to randomly steal focus
So that,
I enter my password managers main password into a chat box
@xssfox oh yes. And the evil twin story where apps change their on-screen layout as they load things, so that the button/link I’m hitting with my finger is actually something else by the time it touches the screen.

@anotherdaniel @xssfox I’m glad to see that I’m in good company hating on this.

@[email protected] UI updating or refreshing in ways that change what actions do after an interactive screen has been presented to the user is one of my toxic patterns. I think UI should be turn based, not like a first person shooter.
