Yeah... That's the most HORRIBLE feature in a lot of Windows applications:
they suddenly pop-up a window on your screen and GRAB the focus, so that the
text you're typing just at this moment is send to this window and
badaboom!... you've selected the "kill all my work" option just because you
were typing a "k" at this time ;-(
