Focus was stolen by a software update notification

[Alex]

Hello ubuntu devs!

Here's the story, with a bit of luck you'll be able to reproduce the same.

1) I started up my machine, logged into Gnome session
2) I opened a text editor and was working on some text
3) then, all of sudden, a notification popup appeared, saying that there're some software updates are available.

That notification window stolen the focus from the previously active window (which was a text editor) and the selection was put for one of the buttons on that window. I seem there were like two or three buttons there, like "Confirm & download", "Cancel" and probably something else. Can't really remember BECAUSE this sudden focus stealing cought me in the moment when I was pressing space in the text editor, and, thanks for stealing the focus, that space key was received by the notification window. So I confirmed something, but I cannot even say what it was.

I'd say generally, it's not a big deal that I have unwillingly confirmed on installing some updates (even though I wouldn't have done that, not yet), but in general stealing focus is something most of the users are blaming and hating Windows for, and it's quite disappointing to see, some of the software in our lovely linux distribution is acting alike.

Running 22.10 on x86_64

Sorry for putting the blank for a package name, but I'm guessing it should be just some single gnome-related application or whatever applet/plugin, which notifies user about updates being available.

Right, that would be update-notifier
