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)

It happens with unsaved AE projects in the background. I’m having trouble replicating it right now, it may depend on which app is in the foreground and whether AE is hidden or not. I’ll update this if I can make a video screen grab.

Thank you @agile_forced010! Not sure if you saw my recent reply below, but check it out and take note of whether it happens when you have docked third-party script panels. The trigger is very tricky to figure out because it’s not happening to all users or even all the time.
