You can’t use scripting because those popups stop the GUI thread. So almost all other scripts won’t run, either.

Just don’t use `system.gui.confirm()`. At all. (Nor any of the `system.gui.*Box` functions.) Make a real popup window for such user interaction. Use window z-order to keep them on top if necessary. Regular popup windows allow scripts to keep running, and can’t get behind the application window.
