Ah… yes please report it if you haven’t yet done so. It should just be a matter 
of temporarily setting the MClockmessages to False before sending the message 
in MCB_setmsg then back to the previous state after. We do that elsewhere for 
things like dispatch. The result will be better than reverting to the old 
behavior because clearly it was previously possible for the message box to be 
presented while messages were blocked causing some bugs I’m sure.

This would be an easy community contribution for someone that wants to dip 
their toe in ;-)

Cheers
