AE on Mac OS should not jump to foreground when auto saving

Not sure if this is to be classified as a bug - but it is weird behaviour driving me nuts.

 

When After Effects auto saves, it also jumps to the foreground.
So if I am doing something in another app, AE will hide that app and jump to the front if it's time to auto save.
Sometimes I am "lucky" and it will just bounce the Dock icon. (Which also interupts my very important web surfing etc)

 

AE 25.1 on Mac OS 15.3 (but it's been like this forever)

This is still not fixed a year later, I’m on 26.2.0. It’s not in the 26.2.1 release notes either. Super annoying.
