Describe the problem

During code compilation (Verify/Upload), Arduino IDE 2.3.5 forcibly captures mouse focus and displays pop-up windows (e.g., log panels or error prompts) that remain on top, preventing users from using the keyboard for other operations (e.g., switching windows or editing code). This issue is particularly noticeable in complex projects or during prolonged compilation, severely impacting development efficiency.​​
​​Examples​​:

The IDE main window or pop-ups stay on top during compilation, blocking input to other applications.

To reproduce

Windows 10 64BIT

complie and upload show verbose output during
Image

Trigger Compilation: Click "Verify" or "Upload".

Expected behavior

Feature Suggestion: Propose adding a "Silent Compilation Mode" to disable non-critical pop-ups

Arduino IDE version

2.3.5

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

Windows 10 22H2

  • I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest nightly build

@YFROBOTZL you checked that box to attest that you had tested with the nightly build of Arduino IDE, but clearly you didn't actually do that. In the future, please do test with the nightly build of Arduino IDE before submitting an issue to avoid creating duplicates.
