I was going to submit a bug on this as well - not only is it an annoying bug,
but if I'm working on something and I happen to hit enter just as one of these
windows pops up, I end up canceling something I didn't intend to cancel.

I was going to suggest as a possible solution a progress bar instead as per
Jonas Björk's suggestion on 2007-10-06 09:09:02 MST. To me that seems a much
better solution than constantly creating and destroying windows to tell me
it's
doing something - especially since those popups tend to disappear before I
have
a chance to read them anyways. Pop something up if there's an error, but not
to give me a status as to what's going on.

Hopefully it'll be fully implemented into 11.0. I would love to see it changed
/ updated for 10.3, but doubtfully.
