Oddly enough I find this to be annoying. 99.99% of the time when I want an app to take focus (ie, clicking a hyperlink from within a shell window), it won't and simply illuminates that app in the task bar (orange). Classic example is when you push a fresh branch to Github and they conveniently provide the "click here to make a PR" in the push response.

I just set my window stealing behavior setting to "None" to see if that improves things.

I have never had an app (on Linux/KDE) steal my attention inappropriately. I only experience the opposite - frustration that something I expect to become the new focus, front-and-center window, is not.
