Modal dialogs that take the focus to go directly into the workflow you’re currently in (like, asking your SSH passphrase when you are connecting by SSH to a host) are not only harmless, they are *desired*. I have seen what happens when they don’t steal the focus, and believe me, you don’t want that. That, being typing your passphrase in the wrong window. > Many users may have wished for those features, but this > may be a good place to say "no you don't want that!" Please come up with a better argumentation than “DO NOT WANT”. We are not on a troll forum. > GUIs are supposed to be user _friendly_. That does not > just mean easy and convenient, but safe.

I wonder what drugs you are on. The focus is stolen *precisely* for safety reasons. Typing something else in place of your passphrase is, at worse, annoying. Typing your passphrase in the wrong window can be a loss of sensitive data. Unless you can propose a better behavior to manage SSH keys based on real use cases and sensible analysis, please refrain from such misinformed rants. -- .''`.
