Hi everybody, thanks for feedback. I think that the ones suggested cannot be considered as a solutions nor a workarounds. If I am working on an application with thousands (literally) of answer/ask dialogs and modal called windows I cannot review all my code to find a way to do something that the engine is called to do on its own, don’t you think? Anyway the “lock messages” can be used with answer/ask dialog but not with modal windows that are intended to be used by the user. Moreover as the modal stack behavior is correct on Windows and seems to be correct on latest MacOS versions I found really strange to garbage my code to workaround an issue that, in my opinion, can be classified as a bug.
This sounds like <https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14275> - the bug appears to be triggered when certain other apps are running but we have yet to be able to find out *why* these other apps have an effect on LC :(
During my investigation I found an interesting thing: starting QuickTime to produce a screencast the app starts working properly even without closing/restarting it. Closing QuickTime immediately reintroduce the problem. This sounds like QuickTime uses a system library that LC should use but doesn’t. Can someone give an hint about this?!
That is intriguing - the fact that QT makes LC's modal windows work correctly again is potentially quite a useful discovery. Do the machines which exhibit the bug have any 'always running' software (e.g. like Spotify as suggested
in the above bug).
