Description
Mantid does not accept any mouse input under a certain set of circumstances and has to be closed unless the Alt+F4 keyboard shortcut is used. To reproduce:
- Open up the Python scripting window and place it in a position similar to that shown in the attached image.
- Set the Python window to be "Always on Top".
- Type "Load" and press enter into the Algorithm field as shown in the image.
The modal nature of the dialog means that you can't click outside of the dialog, but the Python scripting window will block you from clicking on the dialog!
Use Alt+F4 to close the dialog and regain control of Mantid.
I've set this to minor since this will probably be quite a rare occurrence.
