Donation darkness overlay doesn't disappear after Patreon request.

[stereoforever]

Describe the bug.

When I first ran Twine and the Patreon donation request pops up, I hit one of the buttons (don't remember which) and it took me to the Patreon site. Upon returning to the Twine app, the darkness overlay was still there - reducing the contrast in the UI. The whole program is still functional but now is difficult to read. Taking screenshots doesn't work because the darkness filter is lifted every time (in both the standard windows screenshot tool and OBS). The darkness filter is used to give contrast to the initial in-app request donate.

Pressing Dark or Light Mode doesn't help. Neither did uninstalling and reinstalling.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run Twine.
2. Click the link to donate.
3. Return to app.

Expected behavior:

The app to return back to normal with normal UI, no darkness filter. In case of confusion, I don't have any Contrast theme settings in Windows 11, just the normal Dark Mode.

Does this happen on every app startup now, or it just happened when the prompt opened?

I'm marking this as help wanted because 2.4 no longer makes the donation popup modal, but PRs addressing this bug would be welcome.

It happens on every app startup since the prompt. The subsequent app startups don't have the prompt even though the darkness remains.

However! I downloaded the 2.4 beta and it's not an issue in that version anymore!

Thanks for getting back to me.

That's good to hear. A possible workaround here for 2.3 users is to delete your application prefs to see if that helps.

This issue was resolved in 2.4 by making this a modeless dialog.
