Jiwa 7.2 SR2 losing focus on compiling plugins

I haven't put my finger on the exact sequence, but since updating to SR2, I've noticed that *sometimes* when compiling plugins, Jiwa will lose focus, and its position in the Z-order, and I have to find it on the task bar to get it back.

Also, any chance of having the compiler use a version of MessageBox that doesn't ding at me when it's finished?

Actually, I just had the (losing focus) behaviour after going into the PlugIn maintenance screen and searching for a specific plugin, even without compiling.

My environment:
I'm using RDP to log into my Windows 10 "Jiwa 7 development" VM; I have two screens, with JIWA on the left-hand screen.

I can back up Ryan's comments it's definitely losing focus and other application coming to the front under windows server as well but Jiwa 7.2 SR0 doesn't do it in the same environment

This was introduced by DEV-7180.

We disable the MDI Parent form during long running tasks (when the progress dialog is shown) and re-enable it once the tasks are complete in an attempt to stop users clicking on stuff during the process and triggering some actions causing a SQL transaction to be issued during that process and causing issues.

Logged DEV-7426 to deal with this.
