    Scenario:
    User is using the app. At some point, the user adds an item, during that, there is some interaction with DialogBoxes and ProgressDialogs.
    However, after storing the item, there is no way that app can't be clicked on with the mouse. It is almost like there is still a dialog box open.
    However, I don't see any.

    Any tips/pointers/ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Roy

      Question is not very clear. what I understand is that you are not able to use the application. It is not responding. It may be possible that dialog box may be behind the screen. Please check.

        @TheFlyingMooseMan Sorry, but that's not enough information. If there is really no dialog open then most probably your app is frozen (endless loop for example). You should debug your up to see what happens.

          Apologies for the vague problem description. The app is not frozen, it still responds to keyboard input.
          How can I attach a short video to demonstrate the problem?

          Thanks,
          Roy

            @TheFlyingMooseMan Should be able to click the upload file button when adding a post and add a video. I haven't tested it myself though, so no promises.

            Otherwise just upload it to any site of your choosing and provide a link here.

              @TheFlyingMooseMan Are you doing anything with mouse events?
