Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20170103235713+b2b347b

The keybase GUI assumes that when it loses the focus, it may close. This is very annoying behaviour for those of us who use focus-follows-mouse and tiling window managers. Please stop doing so (or at the very least, make it possible to disable that behaviour).

Research direction

Start by locating the Keybase GUI code responsible for closing when the window loses focus, using the reported GUI version 1.0.18-20170103235713+b2b347b as context. Reproduce the behavior with focus-follows-mouse or a tiling window manager, then verify that losing focus no longer closes the GUI or that the behavior can be disabled.
