Message box failure in 10.0.0?

[Paul Dupuis]

We're tracking down a Big Sur "bug/feature" that I don't have a recipe 
stack for yet, but I'll explains as it *might* be related?

We've found that if a stack is internal to the .app under Big Sur (and 
presumably Monterey) that has a video player, the video in the player 
plays and pauses normally (i.e the UI is responsive to any messages to 
the player or menus that control the player). i.e it behaves as expected 
- normally.

However, if the player is in a LOCAL stack, but loaded from OUTSIDE the 
.app package (say from the desktop or elsewhere in the Applications 
folder, but outside the BUNDLE), then when the video is played, the UI 
becomes non-responsive until the video is finished playing.

We have seen other issues relating to file and folder actions that FAIL 
under Catalina and up if performed from a loaded external stack but work 
if loaded from a substack as part of the .app build. (Stacks in the app 
bundle, but external to the .app standalone may work - we've not tested)

We think this is due to Apple's permission scheme under Catalina and 
above and how it tries to detect resource access in real time and 
perhaps something about the stack being external sets the permissions 
system off.

I mention it in the unlikely case you are loading a external stack prior 
to your message box tests.
