If you do a dialog, the system puts back what it thinks should be under the dialog box. in personal pascal. I have found this and have resolved the problem using the PP Scrn_Save and Scrn_Restr functions. Hide your mouse, snap a copy of the screen, do the dialog, begin update, restore screen, end update, show mouse. This works very well, but I think it is a feature, rather than a bug. On mono, one gets a grey desktop, but this solution will take care of the problem. I think it is legit though, since alerts warn of not exceeding 25% of the screen size (it saves it?) so if your doing alerts it is just a fancy way of speeding up the process of dialogs.
