I have a long standing issue with the way SyncbackSE steals screen focus when a profile finishes the comparison stage and displays the differences.
I have two displays, and I oftentimes have a SyncbackSE group profile containing Sync tasks running while doing another task. I have more than once been typing on a Word document or other sort of text entry, and Syncback will pop up a difference dialog and steal screen focus asking for me to continue the run, and because I was in the middle of typing the default "continue run" option is executed.
Is there a way to turn this off? Leave it at flashing in the the task bar, but not taking screen focus?
I've had this issue since SyncbackSE version 6.

Re: SynvbackSE Screen Focus Behavior
HI, AFAIK, this seems to be (and 'to have been') rather a puzzle for some time, as discussed here
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=12081&p=46414
You would firstly do well to check the relevant 'keep on top' setting is switched off for each profile (currently/in V8, the setting is still on the Display menu of the Differences window, and not accessible AFAIK any other way; IIRC it needs to be set 'per-profile'). If this doesn't help, I have no further ideas, and as per last comment from mickyj, neither does he.
