Focus-stealing

This is really starting to get on my tits.  Whenever you complete researching a technology, the information pop-up steals focus from whatever you happen to be doing.  It's not a big problem; you can just repeat whatever it was you were doing.  But after hundreds and hundreds of times, it really gets annoying.  Sometimes it'll interrupt in the middle of doing something like dragging a selection area or putting down an area of wall and result in making a hash of whatever you were working on.  Again, it's simple enough to fix most things, but when it happens two dozen times a game, every single time, it starts to grate like sandpaper. 

(There are a few occasions where it actually interferes in gameplay.  For instance, if two colonists have just had a fistfight and you get the technology completed pop-up before you can click on the fight message to find where it happened, by the time you deal with the pop-up the clickable fight message has vanished and you have to hunt across the whole map looking for dropped weapons -- and I've left sniper rifles or light machineguns lying out in the rain more than once as a result.)
