Literally happened to me the other day:
I was typing something in Slack and sudd-
> A new version of Ubuntu is available. Would you like to upgrade? [Don't Upgrade] [Ask me Later] [Yes, Upgrade Now]
-enly I found out that "spacebar" acts as a click of the selected default button and the rest of my sentence ended up in the password field.
I dismissed the slightly confused password prompt and didn't see the message again for the remainder of the day.
Yes, Canonical, while I'm typing something in Slack is exactly the moment I want to tell you whether I want to update my operating system.
- ansible 9y agoI hate this kind of thing so much! We already have a mechanism for detecting if the user is busy or not, which activates the screen saver and power management. If you really need to get my attention, a little flashing icon in the corner (while not preferred) is still much better than stealing my focus.
