Hi Suhan,

The one specific incident is when I go to take dark frames. I will set all the
required items, insert into the scheduler and then hit the > button. There will
be a popup box, behind the current window, that asks me if I have put the cover
on my telescope. Here is a quick video of this. Let me know if I need to find
other processes which produce the same issue. 

Thank you,

Gary

Hi,

I’m trying to track this down in the code, but since I’m testing on Linux and
this seems macOS-specific, I want to make sure I’m looking at the right dialog.

Could you please clarify one concrete reproduction case? For example:
– Is this a confirmation dialog (Yes/No), or
– A progress / warning dialog?
– And from which exact action (Ekos profile deletion, INDI Web Manager scan, or
another specific menu action)?

With one exact action, I can trace the corresponding code path and fix the
dialog parenting/modality.

Thanks!
