After keeping the window minimized on the background, when the time arrives to lock the workspace and there are some user changes made, the window pops up on top of any activity and gains focus, which makes it very easy to unintentionally misclick e.g. by pressing Enter, but even worse scenarios can happen. My suggestion is that there should obviously be at least some kind of cooldown to block the user action for a short period of time, such that the user has the time to consciously react.

    This is a good one. I usually make entries when actually making the respective user account, and the passwords are auto-generated and looong. Stuff can happen that make me forget to save. It would be unfortunate if I clicked "Discard changes" after creating or changing a root user for a database system, for example. There is no recovering or changing that password.

    Or you can change the option to save changes on lock.
    Tools > Options > Advanced, Start and Exit

    cheers, Paul
