How to prevent Intellij IDEA from autofocusing on debugger events?

Got very annoying thing while hard working - Intellij IDEA thinks that I always should have a look at event which is important as it considers. No, Skyline, it's not such important as you think =)

For example I run a heavy code and while it's running, I'm looking at something else in browser, or making notes in editor AND BANG!!: since debug breakpoint was met in my application - IDEA makes its window active and overlaps all others. There were plenty of situations when I was typing smthg, even login info in input fields and in that moment IDEA came on top of windows so I was interrupted, made mistakes, sent info to wrong resource etc. and get angry.

Is there any chance to tell IDEA to be silent at least on debug events? I want IDEA to switch its window to breakpoint place in code BUT I don't want IDEA to make its ON TOP on my screen at that moment. thank you.
