that is the default behavior.

Buttons don't emit the clicked signal during focus change.

If incremented and not confirmed, a color animation(similar to blinking ) begins for 30 seconds.
Now if I click on the button and increment the value without confirming it and switch to a different screen and then come back to the application, it should remain on the value without getting confirmed.

what do you mean by " I've changed the value of a button .. without confirming the value " ?

maybe this can help Dialog Windows

Later when I switch back to the application, the value is automatically confirmed which is not the expected behavior.

the answer is you can't that is managed by your Operation System/ Window Manager.

Maybe there's a way to archive what you want, what exactly do you want to prevent?
