When an answer or ask dialog triggers a longer repeat loop (e.g.
colorizing particular strings in a fields with a greater number of
textlines or changing the color/shape of a greater number of graphics or
fields etc.) the dialogs remain on top of the screen until the repeat
loop is finished.
In the case of the answer dialog the clicked button of the dialog
vanishes, in case of the ask dialog the input text is hidden, but the
dialogs remain and are then gradually wiped out as parts of the screen
underneath the modal dialog are changed, producing sort of a dissolving
effect, but otherwise conveying the impression of bad programming.
Is there a possibility to immediately close the dialog under these
conditions?
Splitting up the handler into two buttons (first starting the modal
dialog, then sending mouseup to the second button with the repeat loop)
sometimes helps, but mostly not.
