[CLIENT] New Client Repeatedly Steals Focus On Startup

When the new client starts (initialisation), it steals the focus, even if nothing noteworthy happens. This is really annoying. It steals focus at least twice until the Launch Button can be pressed. Between pushing the Launch Button and the appearance of the Login Screen it steals the focus at least three times. After authentication the client does not steal focus any more.

this is still happening in the beta client for me, in Windows 10.

apparently back in the days of Windows XP there was a registry tweak you could do to prevent some applications from stealing focus, but there's no such option today... or at least none that I could google up.

in my opinion, no piece of software knows better than I do when I want to look at it; a program should NEVER make any attempt to steal focus
