Popups steal focus

Testing 3.4.2 on Xubuntu 22.04 and I found this topic that did not get a lot of replies:

Can Audacity be made to not steal focus?

After a recent Audacity version bump (to 3.2.5 but I don’t know from which version) in my Gentoo Linux install, I’m noticing that whenever Audacity completes any task that involves a pop-up with status information (applies an effect, loads a file, saves a file, etc) it will now force-focus the main window. This is annoying for me as I would load or save a big file which takes about 30 seconds, move to some xterm to prepare commands for my workflow, and mid-typing that tasks completes, the main …

This is still the case. The Export Multiple opens a popup for each file, stealing focus after every track, which is very annoying. Is it hard to change this? (I once suggested a single modal showing the progress bar instead of a popup for each track.)
