F360 Stealing focus

THIS IS AN ISSUE DATING BACK FROM 2016! FIX ASAP!

 

Often windows from fusion 360 are forced to be first in the window order. This is a problem that need be fixed asap! Also when switching between Fusion and another app, some menus or icon remain in front of all other applications. 

 

INFO: Mac OS X with most recent update (march 31 2020)

I also have this problem constantly. It's compounded by the fact that Fusion 360 takes up to 2 minutes to start, which means it steals focus while I am waiting for Fusion to start up and trying to get work done in another window.

This is still an issue. For me it seems to happen because my mac uses a few seconds to connect to wifi, so Fusion feels the need to tell me about this. When I switch back to another software, often Fusion will immediately come to the foreground again to tell me that there is still no wifi, even if it is now connected. I might have to swap back to what I am trying to do up to 10 times before Fusion shuts up.

 

No other software on my Mac behaves this way.

I found people describing similar issues in posts from 2016, and Autodesk saying it would be fixed quickly. 5 years later ...

This continues to be an issue. On startup, on OSX 10.15 (and I'm assuming also on Big Sur), Fusion steals the focus three times. When returning from sleep Fusion is *always* the front window because for some reason it steals focus when returning from sleep.

 

These issues need to be addressed. I'm mostly replying to sub to updates here. 🙂

I would very much appreciate addressing this issue.  When working on large models I often task switch while Fusion is calculating.  This basically prevents me from being able to do anything else and is highly disruptive.   I'm using Windows 10.
