Thanks to those who replied.

The workaround I found, similar to that Luther suggested, was to enclose the alerts in a "tell Finder activate" ... "end tell" block.

"activate me ... tell me" seems to work too, but this is a bit bizarre.

"activate me ... tell me" is required, and works, when Show in Dock = false. (It's documented, but I don't remember the where at the moment.)


Even if Show in Dock = true, you still need "activate me ... tell me" just in case the dialog appears when you've brought another application to the front. (Avoids the bouncy icon in the Dock.)

I think the busy cursor in this case is a bug.
