Intellij is stealing focus from editor after compile

I'm using Intellij IDEA 9.0.2 After each make, if i have errors, window "messages Make" is stealing focus from the main editor. Do you know how to correct this?

Alt+Space will bring up the system menu of the focus-stealing application's window, for example.

There is no way to change this behavior in the configuration. There is a keyboard shortcut which allows you to change focus to specific 'windows' within IDEA.

CTRL+SHIFT+TAB

CTRL is probably replaced with CMD on Mac and Super (windows key) on Unix. This will allow you to manually switch back to the editor tab of your choice, or any other window for that matter.
