it's been more than a month and a half and still no patch that fixes this. Emily Kirby
- Don't get your hopes up. The team at Microsoft says they are working on it, but I do not think it will ever be fixed. Not after this long being out there, and this many people complaining about it. I've given up trying.
- Hi, thanks for reviewing the inputs, could you point me where people actually requested this functionality, say, Teams stealing focus ? Because I guess it was not implemented out from thin air or it is a "bug" that slipped through the testers' vigilance before release.
- Is the report a problem link under Help in the bottom left hand corner?
I only see give feedback here.- Yes, you should see "Report a Problem" under that help menu in the lower left corner, just below "Suggest a Feature".
Rich_LarsonI'm not seeing that in my Teams client in Windows (v1.4.00.16575). Here is a screenshot for my Help menu.
Hi, any idea when this will actually be fixed ? It is a massive productivity drain and massively intrusive that an application steals focus with no input from me.
- This issue recently started for me. Do you have an estimate for when a fix will be available? Days/weeks/months?
- Yeah i just noticed this after coming back from vacation. Super annoying. Teams version: 1.4.00.16575 (64-bit) which claims to be up to date after checking for updates.
- Yeah, it still does it. They said they fixed it, but it seems to be unfixed in production. I know they (MS) are aware of it, so I've basically stopped trying to ask them to fix it. My only hope is that one day it will just "go away"....
- Thank you so much Emily! I look forward to seeing this fix in production in the near future. I know these things take time, and there are a lot of things you and the team are always working on, so there are never enough hours in the day. Thank you again for reaching out on this. It's very much appreciated! --Rich
