Can Maya not pop itself to the front while loading?
Maya 2018 takes ~1 minute to start, and during that time I do other stuff. Three or four times towards the end of startup, I suddenly find that I'm typing in the Maya window. It also does it while loading a new scene. (3DS Max is far worse, FWIW.)
It should pop up a splash screen, then everything else should be at the same level as that. If I click away from the splash screen, nothing else should come to the front until I click on it again.
I know it's not only a Windows app, but still, this is from the Windows application guidelines:
"Windows displayed by user-initiated actions should take input focus, but only if the window is rendered immediately (within 5 seconds). Once the window is rendered, it can take input focus once.
- If a window renders slowly (more than 5 seconds), users are likely to perform another task while they wait. Taking focus at this point would be an annoyance, especially if done more than once."
