This definitely happens and needs to be correctable in system preferences. I love macs for sure but those that don't see this problem are surely unaware of what it means to multi-task.
Please don't respond to this thread any more by refusing to recognize a problem that you don't understand.
I could give some suggestions. if the user has another window active or is working in another space could be a clue to the app that the user might be engaged in another activity. In that instance bounce the icon on the dock instead of pulling the focus to another box. Or, you could just sound a tone. Personally, I would be satisfied with a global switch that says if another window "IsActive=true" then do not pull focus away.
There must be some command the stealing app must me sending to the OS that causes it to switch spaces (in my case most of the time).

Why did you open it if you are working on something else and don't want to be bothered? When you really want to use it, open it. Or, just open everything you think you might use and leave them open.
