SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
It is annoying to open an application that requires you to open the KDE wallet simultaneously with something that steals focus multiple times like Steam. To remedy this, I propose that graphical password authenticators like the KDE Wallet service and pkexec set focus stealing prevention to extreme when in focus.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open something that requires you to input any sort of password in a GUI
2. Open Steam or some other application that steals focus several times
3. Type your password while the focus stealer is booting up

OBSERVED RESULT
You get constantly interrupted

EXPECTED RESULT
Password prompts should always stay in focus

If we did what you ask, it would have other side effects that would be potentially quite undesirable, so we can't do that, I'm afraid.

If you'd like to continue, please submit a new bug report describing the issue itself, rather than proposing a solution. Thanks!
