If it is a video player then the video is frozen until the window is closed.
it is the same with ofSystemAlertDialog

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze with ofSystemTextBoxDialog and ofSystemAlertDialog on macOS, using a video-playing openFrameworks application. Trace the dialog entry points and determine whether the expected behavior is for video playback to continue while the dialog is open; done means the behavior is documented or corrected and verified with both dialogs.
