Yup - tooltips block button clicks here as well. Since you're likely layering the tooltips as objects over the window and the button, the OS is likely trapping clicks to them. I'm not sure how to best allow the clicks to pass through since I don't know how you have it set up.

New oddness.

Started HL. Got to the "updates are available" page, and looked at the list of updates. Started to import the new Pathfinder update.

Did a command-tab to switch back to Safari (this forum, actually) and the list of updates stayed over my screen as the top object and blocked everything else.

After that, nothing in HL was responsive and I force-Quit. Restarting HL, it looks like the file import did finish.

Perhaps there was a "we're finished" dialog box that got buried behind the updates list when I switched back, and since I couldn't move the updates list, I couldn't acknowledge it?

Did the exact same thing to me last night... Took a lot of command-tabbing around to get the all done dialog back

I've got the new 3.9a update installed, along with Pathfinder 6.11 and I'm messing around with it. So far, everything seems stable enough, but d20Pro export files are still exporting with the ".*" as part of their filename.

I was able to use Exposé to see all the open windows for the application, and it looks like the "import is underway" window is showing up, it's just that the Z-ordering is wrong. I'm not sure if you could use exposé to switch back to the dialog in order to close it, but that might be an option next time.

I'll confirm this. It looks like the program is hanging until you use Expose to flip between screens and can see that the dialog is hidden by the app and other windows.

Same sort of thing with me. While I was able to load HL and run it fine, the dark blue updates screen never would go away. It just hung on the screen until it was moved under other screens. It did close when i shut down HL though.

Also noticed a slight issue, when you mouse over a button in HL a text appears to tell you what it is. But the text blocks you from being able to click on the button and perform the command.

Does the problem still happen if you quit and restart Hero Lab?

Try loading another game system - can you open the editor in that game?

Nothing happens when I choose Launch Editor.
Same when I restart.
This happens under Pathfinder and under M&M3.
I originally was able to do so, but after fooling around with my own .user files, it stopped opening. I'm not sure what caused the malfunction...
