I have a TCL program that periodically pops up from being minimised. At some point in my fiddling with settings I managed to set it (or a default somewhere ) to steal focus when it pops up. So instead of just going black in the taskbar and waiting for me, I am torn away from what I'm doing to deal with it. What do I set that it doesn't do that? It never used to....
