Summary0007531: Auto-pause on lost focus spams repeated pause attempts
DescriptionI was standing in the settlement crafting some spells, when I decided to alt-tab out of the game to check my email. I heard the pause-noise in the background, followed by the unpause noise. The game kept attempting to re-pause the itself over and over, even though other people were in the chunk, trying to do stuff. I had to go back in the game and move my character to an unused area before alt-tabbing out.

I suggest that the auto-pause feature only initiate a single pause request of the game. This would not impact it's intended purpose, which was (I believe) to help those who play the game in fullscreen on a multi-monitor setup not die when they click outside the game.

I'm not sure if this is fixable, but I sure hope so!

TL;DR - the game keeps pausing itself over and over (when other players attempt to unpause) as long as it does not have focus. This prevents other players from playing the game, and is generally annoying.

Thanks!

* The auto-pause function now only submits itself once per loss of focus. So if you alt-tab out and the game pauses, and then someone else unpauses it while you are still alt-tabbed out (meaning in MP here), then the game won't keep spamming the pause function at the others.
