Regression
Yes
Focus changes from the IDE to the Unity Editor when compiling code in the IDE
How to reproduce:
1. Open a larger project (e.g., “VR Multiplayer” sample)
2. Edit any script from the project
3. Add a comment
4. Save the changes
5. Observe the IDE
Expected result: the focus remains on the IDE
Actual result: the focus changes to the Unity Editor
Reproducible with: 6000.0.13f1 (Only the loading bar shows up) , 6000.0.54f1, 6000.1.14f1, 6000.2.0b12, 6000.3.0a3
Not reproducible with: 2022.3.65f1, 6000.0.12f1
Reproducible on: MacOS 15.5 (Silicon)
Not reproducible on: Windows 11
Notes:
- For it to reproduce consistently, I used Rider IDE and specific steps, comments documented in the reproduction video, but occasionally it reproduces with different comments
- I am unable to replicate the issue with VSC because it cannot attach the project and automatically compile the scripts after cmd+s is pressed.

During building Unity now also likes to grab focus 100 times, so you have to run it in full screen if you want to do anything else during build. I would not be surprised if it has to do with the loading bar.

I also wanna express how **incredibly** annoying this is. It HAS to be fixed for all version, not just 6.3!

We're updating to Unity 6 and suddenly we got this and it's extremely annoying. Building and recompiling can take some time so it's extremely important for us to being able to continue in Rider programming, checking stuff, reading code, etc etc.
