Description
Describe the bug When I open pgAdmin 4, the focus is on the "Unlock Saved Passwords" prompt. After a second or so, the focus switches to the Query Editor in the background, causing me to type the password in clear text.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Have a Query Editor open in a previous session
Close and reopen pgAdmin
If the Query Editor loads in the background, it steals focus once it is loaded completely
Expected behavior The password prompt should either trap the focus or block the background text fields from receiving any key press events.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
OS: Fedora Silverblue
pgAdmin version: 9.12
Mode: Desktop
Package type: Flatpak

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Desktop mode with a previously open Query Editor, then observe focus while the Unlock Saved Passwords prompt appears and the editor finishes loading. Done means the password prompt retains focus or background fields cannot receive keystrokes during loading; the payload does not name a source file or test.
