Not an easy bug. Fails 100PC standard.
Also, should probably be assigned to window managers, not a toolkit.

Title:
Long-loading apps steal focus after user changes app before loading
finishes.
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Opinion
Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Take for instance launching an application (GUI) that takes a long
(it's arbitrary, I know) time to load (think of IntelliJ or Eclipse).
Start that process, then open a terminal. Start working in that
terminal. When the long loading application finally appears it will
gain focus. If that application pops up any dialogs, they will grab
focus. This is incredibly annoying and a security flaw (IMHO), since
it can grab text from another application (such as a password) and
have it displayed on the screen. It can cause a user to input
information that they did not intend to, well, input.
Plus, this is just annoying. I know it exists in KDE and in GNOME.
It's an X thing I believe. But, it just isn't the behavior anyone
expects.
