Focus stealing

See original GitHub issue

When code is not valid, occasionally “Messages” dock opens/closes and often “Project” dock ends up having focus. In some instance this starts happenning every few keystrokes. Maybe related to #273? I even once ended up deleting one module, because I was writing, didn’t notice focus got stolen and I hit <kbd>del</kbd> followed by <kbd>enter</kbd>. I am glad IDEA keeps history of deleted files…

I recorded video from beta48 (didn’t notice new version is out), but I retested and it does same thing in beta49, only less frequently, because it seems changes to code aren’t being reflected too often. In beta49 I started getting REPL 30 second timeout, with command was: “:show modules”. Probably not related.

idea_focus_stealing

Shown project was created by File -> New -> Project... in IDEA. I am pretty sure this behaviour occurs in every project (at least for me).

Released beta51, https://github.com/rikvdkleij/intellij-haskell/releases/edit/v1.0.0-beta51

Also uploaded to Jetbrains plugin repo but it can take some time before they approve.

I’m curious how you experience beta51 😄
