App stealing focus on Windows when notifying

Just noticed that when I'm playing something, Akiflow steals focus and minimizes full screen app when it pops up new notification. If I leave the notification on, it steals it again every minute. If I alt+F4 the app, it still pops up the notification next time there's one.

Hi everyone, this should be fixed. If you are still experience it, please reach out in the Akiflow chat.
Best,

I also have the same issue like you on Windows 11 with Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. FYI, Electron-based apps are not responsive at some point while keep opening it on Windows 11.
This always happens when PowerToys FanceZones is enabled.

Yes, this is also an issue with competing with other apps. Akiflow seems to not handle notifications and overlays very well yet. :(

Hi Roni, thanks for reporting this! We'll look into it and I'll keep you posted!

Stefania: I did not notice that the app stays behind in the Windows system tray. The temporary solution is to completely close the app from system tray as well while using full screen apps, but that doesn't conclude the fact the problem remains with Akiflow not respecting other apps that are in the foreground. Same thing doesn't happen on my Mac (probably because of the completely different OS-specific technique in notifications) so this is Windows-only problem.

Roni Laukkarinen: Hi Roni, please let me know if this happens again after the latest release. Thank you so much for your help!

Stefania: Unfortunately, it happens again. Try plainy Overwatch or some other full screen game while app is open. When the notification appears, full screen app is minimizing.

Roni Laukkarinen: Hi Roni, we're trying to reproduce your bug!
- Could you please tell me which computer model are you using (processor, video card etc)?
- Do you use any other Windows computer?
- Can you try using the Windows Focus Assist and let me know if it happens anyway?
Thank you so much for your help!

Stefania: Custom PC with Windows 11, Asus Prime B550-Plus ATX-motherboard,
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3,70 GHz, AM4 -CPU,
Corsair 16 GB (2 x 8 Gt) Vengeance RGB PRO, DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ventus 2X OC 8 Gt -GPU.
I only have this one Windows computer so cannot test on any other Windows PC.
I haven't ever used Focus Assist (what is it anyway?). I'm on a business trip for a week and cannot reach my desktop PC before 6th of June.
