Literally happened to me the other day: I was typing something in Slack and sudd- > A new version of Ubuntu is available. Would you like to upgrade? [Don't Upgrade] [Ask me Later] [Yes, Upgrade Now] -enly I found out that "spacebar" acts as a click of the selected default button and the rest of my sentence ended up in the password field. I dismissed the slightly confused password prompt and didn't see the message again for the remainder of the day. Yes, Canonical, while I'm typing something in Slack is exactly the moment I want to tell you whether I want to update my operating system. |

We already have a mechanism for detecting if the user is busy or not, which activates the screen saver and power management.
If you really need to get my attention, a little flashing icon in the corner (while not preferred) is still much better than stealing my focus.
