Dear maintainer,

I recently switched from X to Wayland and have noticed that the windows
that pop up to warn the user to take a break now grab the keyboard
focus. This is quite annoying since they of course tend to pop up while
I am typing, which means a random number of key strokes are sent into
nothingness.

This generally means I have to switch back to the previous
application, finish whatever I was typing, switch back to Workrave, wait
for the break to finish, and then again switch back to the previous
application.

The warning window should instead leave the focus where it was, allowing
the user to finish any ongoing typing befor taking a break.

My destkop environment is Gnome 3.

Kind regards,
Matijs van Zuijlen
