I confirm this. POV 3.5b7, W98se, AMDK6 500, 128 Mb.

It's annoying when I've got POV running minimised as a background task
and I'm just about to wipe out the Treeclop Homeworld, and suddenly the
galaxy disappears and is replaced by the render window. Or when I'm
touch-typing a Word document, and look up to discover that POV grabbed
the active window three sentences ago.
