Dear OSX

July 22, 2009 · 1 Comment

When I have an application in the forefront, that application should stay in the forefront FOR ALL TIME until I switch to something else. Me opening application A then switching back to application B while A opens is not your license to then steal focus from B while A does whatever it’s doing while it’s opening. A stays in the background until I bring it to the foreground. End of story.

Instead, you get all Patrick Swayze and are like “Nobody puts Application A in a corner!”, and decide that suddenly it’s time to just switch to A and send half of the sentence I was just typing to it instead.

So… fix this. Seriously.

Thanks,
joel

When you add JavaScript to your site so that as soon as I fill in a form field with enough characters it auto-advances me to the next form field… you are emboldening the terrorists.

Just thought you’d like to know.
