mush inappropriately grabs windows focus

Why does mush need to steal the windows focus? This is irritating. I'm in mush, using it ... then I click on a desktop icon ... but mush steals focus. Mush seems to feel that i really did not intend to click on another desktop icon, no: mush "knows" that I really should be using mush, after all. Except, I really don't want mush to do this. No, I would prefer that mush acted like every other win app, and allowed me to click on a desktop icon without mush grabbing the focus. Clicking on the destop icon a second time usually (but not always) convinces mush that the hapless user indeed wants to use a windows application other than mush.

I'm using 3.17 ... earlier versions do this also.

This is not by design, mine does not do that, and you are the first person to report it.

I certainly would not want to "force" you to use my program - it is supposed to behave like any other Windows program.

There must be something funny about your setup - what operating system do you use? Are you using scripting? Triggers?
