A modal dialog blocks all input to its parent window until it is dismissed. In this case the dialog's contents become invalid if the user selects another paragraph, so I prevent them from doing so by making the dialog modal.
> I think that you'll find that this does happen. Ah, great that the functionality's there, this should be very useful for instant-apply dialogs. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried with both FormParagraph and GParagraph; I print a message on stderr at the start of update(). This message is printed when I first invoke the dialog, but when I move the workarea cursor around while the dialog's still open it does not get printed again (and correspondingly the dialog's contents don't get updated). I tried printing a message immediately after "case LFUN_PARAGRAPH_UPDATE", and this message was not printed when I typed a couple of lines and moved the cursor between them. I hope I'm not missing something obvious. John
