Anyone else see this Stars bug?

It happens like this:

A seat available window pops up and you can't click on anything or it or anything underneath it and it holds focus. It's super super obnoxious.

Anyone else get this or know a fix?

Yeah, this happens 100% of the time for me. It's very annoying. The only fix I've heard of is developing lightning-fast reflexes so as to address the window and not time out on any of your tables while doing so.

It's not a bug, it's a modal dialog box. It does not allow input anywhere until the dialog is completed. Stars would have to change the dialog to be modeless (or non-modal) to fix this.

I don't use PokerStars much but I thought they fixed it so it stopped stealing your keyboard input all the time. Then I start playing there again and notice its doing it. Is there a way to turn this off? It's about the most annoying thing in the world. Between that and how it pauses between streets when all is are about the two most annoying "features" I've seen in poker software.

Yes this happens to me all the time. The focus switches from the table or window that the box pops up on to the box. Then if another table pops up before you get the box you lose focus to everything. When this happens go the the taskbar and restore focus to the window that the box popped up on and you will restore focus to the box and can proceed.

Try Alt + TAB to get to another window.

I got this again today. I understand how a modal dialog box works, but this thing isn't letting me click on it or its buttons at all. I click on the buttons, they don't work. I click on the game below it to try to get the modal dialog box to the front, it doesn't work either. It doesn't seem there's any way to do it by clicking. And I usually have so many apps up that I run out of time if I Alt-tab it (tried that last time). I just wish Stars would fix this crap.
