Mac app steals focus when a torrent is complete

[valentine]

I'm using 5.18 on both macOS Mojave and Big Sur, and Transmission Remote GUI steals focus (i.e. forces itself into the foreground) when a torrent is complete.

The issue does not occur on 5.17 (running on Mojave), so it might have come about from the change from Carbon to Cocoa.

Both versions connect to Transmission 3.00.

+1 on this. So irritating.

I'm facing this issue too. I'd ask for a fix, but judging by the state of open issues and apparent lack of responses, coupled with the last release being about 2 years ago, I'm concerned this project is abandonware. (No hate intended here at all, I'd love to be proven wrong here!)

If anyone knows of a workaround or some other way to make this issue go away, I'd certainly appreciate it if you could drop some knowledge bombs. Thanks! 💣 📚

Meta/update: For some reason I don't see an option to "+1" the OP's opening comment, hence my use of the typed-out version here. Apologies for the obvious noise generation.
