Description

Not sure of the proper wording for this. If another window is in focus while LMMS loads, LMMS will regain focus whenever a new part of loading completes. I believe this is undesirable.

Tested on Windows 10 with 1.2.0-rc2

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 with LMMS 1.2.0-rc2 or the current build, keeping another window focused while LMMS loads. Trace the loading flow and its window-focus handling, then verify that loading can complete without repeatedly taking focus from the other window.
