Why does my Jframe GUI only steal focus from Microsoft Outlook?

112 100+
Hey guys,

I created a GUI that updates every time a new line is added to some file. If I have the GUI in the background and have focus on other things such as unix session I have open, firefox, an email that I am writing in Microsft Outlook, the GUI flashes in the taskbar at the bottom of my screen and doesn’t steal focus. That is exactly what I want it to do.



When I have Microsoft Outlook as the focus, looking at emails, deleting emails, etc, the GUI always steals the focus and I have to click back on Outlook to gain the focus back. Can you think of a reason this is occurring?
