      Hi,

      For a few weeks now, I've an unpleasant issue with Opera One on Linux.
      Each time a page reloads, Opera takes the focus. So if I refresh a page, move to another application, then after a few seconds (let's say the network is pretty bad) the page is loaded, Opera takes the focus.
      Imagine that you're typing in the other application and the page you reloaded has "shortcuts"… Then it may do some actions…

      Is it a feature? Is there any place where I can disable it? Or is it a bug?

      Here are some information about Opera and my OS:
      Opera One(version: 99.0.4780.0)
      Opera is up to date
      Update stream:developer
      System:Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (x86_64; ubuntu:GNOME)
      Chromium version:112.0.5615.20

      Thank you and have a nice day.

        Hi,

        Additionally, I've exactly the same behavior when I open the WhatsApp integrated messenger: I ask for a page reload, open WhatsApp, once the page is reloaded, WhatsApp panel is closed… 🤬

        Thanks for your help you may provide.

            Hi there.

            The same problem of refocusing, even when on a different virtual desktop.

            Am on Win10 (v. 22H2 build 19045.3086) with Opera/OperaOne v. 100.0.4815.31 & up to date.

              I have the same problem in Windows 10. If I have multiple Opera-windows opened and a page on a background window reloads automatically, the background window comes in front and is in focus.
