Master password prompt steals focus

I have no problem entering my master password each session. However the prompt appears at unpredictable times, sometimes I'm in the process of typing something else (ie a URL). Is there a setting anywhere to stop the prompt from stealing my focus so I can enter the master password in my own time? The default behavior is pretty annoying. Thanks.
