Sorry, if this has been requested before ... Is it possible that Auto Focus ignores Lights?
Many times I have some invisible light in front of my objects and it makes it impossible to use AF, because it uses even invisible lights as focus point.

So a solution would be:
10 activate Auto Focus
20 look for nearest geometry
30 if nearest geometry = "area light" goto 50
40 focus on geometry
50 look for second nearest geometry
I know this is oversimplified, but maybe there is a way?

Which would be in this case to focus on geometry other than an area light.
Anyways, this is supposed to be a wishlist, so I wished for something. I am surprised to be told (and I am summarizing here) that I am obviously to dumb and not well informed enough to wish for the right things.
I don't think that is how this should work.
