Summary: IDE asks for attention when quitting

Initial Comment:
When you quit the IDE (in MacPython-OSX) via the popup menu in the dock it somehow asks for attention (the icon jumps up and down enthusiastically). When you the bring it to front it exits normally, without showing any message or anything.

I've looked at this a couple of times but never managed to find what is going on. Do you have any idea?

That sounds entirely reasonable...

Found the problem: the unconditional call to AEInteractWithUser() in the quit appleevent handler. I think this should be done differently. I've noticed that on OSX it's always safe to call AEInteractWithUser, even when not inside an AE handler. So, the simplest solution would be to call it in all the EasyDialogs calls and be done with it. Do you think this is reasonable? If so assign back to me and I'll do it.

The alternative is to do this for IDE only. That means that the various classes should call app.interact() before posting a dialog. app.interact() would then call AEInteractWithUser.
