Agreed. This has caused major issues when we upgraded to 10.10.3. We’ve got about 500 users now. This is a real PITA.

I found that wrapping the ‘display dialog’ in the current app’s context seems to fix it. I.e.:

tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
— activate
— display dialog
— or choose from list etc.
