P: SDK: Modal dialogs don't always close properly

  • March 25, 2025

Dialog windows created by LrDialogs.presentModalDialog() don't always close fully on exit.

 

To reproduce on LR 14.2 / Mac OS 15.3.2 / Macbook Pro 16" 2023 Apple M2 Max:

 

1. Download and install this plugin:

2. Do File > Plug-in Extras > _Dialog Bug > Bug and observe this dialog:

 

3. Click OK and observe the dialog close properly.

 

4. Do File > Plug-in Extras > _Dialog Bug > Bug again and observe the same dialog.

 

5. Click OK and observe that the dialog hasn't completely closed:

 

6. The dialog remains until you restart LR.

This bug persists after resetting preferences and opening a new catalog. I first noticed it with my Debugging Toolkit,  where it's a serious annoyance. Nine others have reported similar symptoms with creating snapshots starting with LR 14.1.1.

    Closing as we can no longer reproduce.

    Today I tested with LR 14.3.1 / Mac OS 15.3.2 and still observed the bug (first observed with 14.2 / 15.3.2) with both the plugin recipe here and with New Snapshot.

     

    Then I updated to Mac OS 15.5 and no longer observe the problem with LR 14.3.1.

    From the team: 

    "Not observing this with the attached plugin. I am on macOS 15.5,  could you please check if this is an intermittent issue?"

    The recipe still produces the misbehavior in LR 14.3.

      It happens for many of my plug-ins.

      What is strange is that in certain cases I use a similar UI as you do but it doens't happen.

      At step 6 I can dismiss the dialog by clicking the UI BUT it simply goes in background and is still there in the "Windows" menu.
