Description
OS: 10.14.3
IDE: 1.8.8
When I am using other apps while launching Arduino IDE, the IDE brings itself to front when it changes what it's loading(i.e. "Initializing Packages" -> "Preparing Boards" -> "Starting") which can be annoying.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the launch sequence on macOS 10.14.3 while another app is active, watching the transitions from “Initializing Packages” to “Preparing Boards” to “Starting.” Trace the Arduino IDE 1.x startup and window-focus behavior; done means the IDE stays behind the active app throughout loading.
