Who recently changed MC tools stuff? Keep getting 'modal dialog blah' error in #answer:

Whilst trying to commit a bunch of stuff I keep getting MC errors in #answer: where the modalProcess is not the current process.
Anybody got something to tell us?

Hmmm... did you open an MC tool and then switched projects? Do not do that. It will change processes. :)

Nope; as I mentioned in the Projects discussion - to the horror of many, it seems - I just don’t use projects.

Just the usual select a package/repository, ‘save’, edit the description, pick a couple of items to ignore ( because they need to not be released just yet) and ‘save’. After a little progress indication, boom 'This modal dialog was interrupted, please close it’ in MCTool>>answer:.

I *think* closing the MC browser does something helpful, though I’ve banged on enough windows and dialogs whilst trying to get through this that I can’t really be sure. One question worth considering is whether the MCTools way of trying to be modal is the proper way to do it.

Not even to verify your changes in MVC land? :-)

Well, I have not been experiencing spontaneous hick-ups in MCTools lately.

Best,
