Hi Chris,
This is not bug. In fact, I am very happy that this works properly in
Mac OS 9. There is no workaround that is practible and complies with
Apple's GUI rules. In every operating system, an application should
halt while a modal dialog is open, until the dialog closes.
I suggest you just accept that the Help window is not available, as
Mac OS 9 users would be surprised if they could access the Help
window while a modal dialog is open. They would consider it a bug in
your software.
Best,
Mark

I think I've found a bug in Rev, and I want to see if anyone has
ever experienced this and if so, if there is a workaround.
I've got an application that we are supposed to release this week,
so this is kind of urgent. In this app, I've got a main window that
opens a stack as modal. This is so the user cannot interact with
the main window while the other is open. But then from the modal
window, there is a help stack that I open as a palette. This works
fine under Windows and OS X, but under OS 9, there's a problem. The
palette stack does not get focus when it opens, and you cannot
interact with it at all. You can't even close it. It's like the
modal stack is taking over, and in fact, when I click anywhere in
the palette stack, I get the beep from the computer indicating that
I can't do anything with it. The palette window does open over the
top of the modal one, however. Then once I close the modal window,
I can interact with the palette. Bug? Shouldn't it behave the same
way on all platforms?
After doing some additional testing, it doesn't matter which mode I
use for that help stack. I cannot interact with it at all from the
modal one. Can anyone think of a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Chris
