Applet dialog – 2nd instance on redisplay – Apple Intelligence

[Neophyte]

My applet uses Dialog Toolkit Plus to show dialogs. In particular, when one dialog is closed, the applet does work including starting new processes and the dialog is displayed again with any necessary changes. It’s been working since 2017.

With implementation of Apple Intelligence that process has changed. Instead of closing, the dialog remains open and when the applet redisplays that dialog a second instance is opened. Sometimes, but not always, the second instance has the new Apple Intelligence logo beside a text input box. The logo looks like this:

The first instance of the dialog ceases to respond to input – the second behaves normally. When I quit the applet both dialogs close.

This behaviour occurs when the applet is run from within Script Debugger, when run from Finder and when exported, signed and notarized.

Behaviour returns to normal if I turn off Apple Intelligence.

Does anyone know of a way out of the mess when Apple Intelligence is on ?

Thanks.

I don’t know the solution. But, if someone can figure it out, they should tell Claris. Folks using FileMaker are getting certain dialogs stuck open, and the suspicion is that weird Apple Intelligence “popover indicator” UI element is the cause.
It would be nice if the Apple Intelligence stuff didn’t feel like an alien parasite sucked onto the body of macOS.

+1 – It’s turned on by default and is very confusing for users. I have had to tell my users to turn AI off.
