We are aware of this issue and it is already reported as the ticket number #510.
The reporting system functions but as an internal one due to the fact that the reports must be sorted into true and false before being registered.

Interestingly, the issue got solved for python msg but now tkinter shows a weird behavior.

Tkinter will open 2 windows, one blank and one with the actual UI called. Both are behind the simCNC window. See screenshot for reference.

Regards,
André

Code:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter.simpledialog import askinteger
root = tk.Tk()
toolID = askinteger("Tool number", f"T#")
toolID = int(toolID)
d.executeGCode( f"M6 T{toolID}" )
root.mainloop()

System:

• simCNC 3.500 beta 6 build 2023-06-23 15:19:17
• W10 22H2 built 19045.2965

PS:
root.attributes("-topmost", True) works, but still gives a 2nd window which is on top of my UI (screenshot).

If I add root.withdraw() on root it is removing the 2nd window but then the UI again is set behind the simCNC window.

I have a great example for you that uses:
- "window.attributes('-topmost', True)" which makes the window always on top
- "lambda" which allows you to use the popup as a regular feature

I forgot to add that this macro sets machine parameter to 100.
