Bad message box positions for clearing annotation on dataset change

[my-tien]

Message box on dataset load widget:

Click on “Start new one”

Message box in center of screen:

It’s annoying that I have to move the cursor because of this.

This occurs every time when I switch datasets, because I always load multiple skeletons which automatically causes unsaved changes.

:thinking:

It’s a gnome issue, for a short time after a dialog closes no window has focus leaving the second dialog orphan.

You can use the keyboard. :wink:
