Describe the problem

During code compilation (Verify/Upload), Arduino IDE 2.3.5 forcibly captures mouse focus and displays pop-up windows (e.g., log panels or error prompts) that remain on top, preventing users from using the keyboard for other operations (e.g., switching windows or editing code). This issue is particularly noticeable in complex projects or during prolonged compilation, severely impacting development efficiency.​​
​​Examples​​:

The IDE main window or pop-ups stay on top during compilation, blocking input to other applications.

To reproduce

Windows 10 64BIT

Trigger Compilation: Click "Verify" or "Upload".

Expected behavior

Feature Suggestion: Propose adding a "Silent Compilation Mode" to disable non-critical pop-ups
