It seems that AppleScript sets a busy cursor when an application is launched, even when it's asked to display an alert.

For example, if I write a simple script like:

set reply to display alert "Do you want to see a busy cursor?" buttons {"No", "Never"}

then save it as an "Application Bundle" and launch it, it displays an alert with a busy cursor rather than an arrow cursor, and then the user has to click on a button with the busy cursor.

Is this intended behaviour? Is there a workaround?

Hi Brett,

I can confirm this behavior on 10.5.3 (both applets and droplets). I had not noticed it this behavior in AppleScript application bundles in previous versions of 10.5 but did for windows created by my OSA components for other languages.

Thanks,

Philip Aker
