No, but I've had issues with other modal dialogs I've created in regard to mouseclicks somehow 'clicking through' to a field below.

Ken Ray has got me out of the box, making new interfaces. In this case I've been experimenting with using a group as a dialog, but of course the problem is that execution continues. I'd somehow have to figure a way to fake the modality (limiting the cursor?, wait with messages?).

Groups are nice for dialogs as they come up quickly and stay positioned in their window and travel with it. It's not so much of a 'big deal' compared with bringing up a new stackwindow. They are also a lot easier to debug.

So I haven't got it to a point where it could be an answer replacement, however it's perfect for, say, a prefs panel, or showing running data.

"drag the owner of me" in the "titlebar" makes it pretty easy.

The idea is not original, I got it from a Rev'r in Spain, who had a prefs panel like that.

Normally all commands that bring up modal dialogs (modal, sheet, ask, answer, etc.) suspect execution of the current script.

I think I may have come across a case where using the sheet command does not block the current script, instead continuing execution after the sheet dialog is presented.

Is this a known issue?  Any of you folks seen this?
