Description

Due to the fact that panic handlers steal focus + block you touching anything else in Dolphin, if you by chance get a stream of panic-handlers, it's as deadly as a soft lock. You have to force quit Dolphin.

I would like any solution to it at all. A little button on the panic alerts to disable panic alerts, the ability to still use Dolphin's menus while a panic alert is up, anything. This is getting annoying while testing, where a panic alert triggering basically means "whelp, it crashed." because there's literally nothing else I can do but close Dolphin

This is very annoying for testing games.

This appears to be a general wx problem.

Any open dialog (including the settings dialogs) will steal all focus and even block sigterms from quitting dolphin.

Would a hotkey to turn off panic handlers work?

Like I said in issue 8042, issue 10432 is not a proper solution.

Let's use this report as the master report instead since it describes the issue rather than requesting a specific solution.

I'd nominate this for milestone current. Panic Handlers are a nuisance when testing and a stream of them requires too much effort to dismiss. This will cause people to leave them disabled and forget to re-enable them before making bug reports.

I haven't tested it but it sounds like https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/682a6117b51de2fa22d05d93a4300729aeb834c4/ fixes this problem for QT. Fixes for WX and Android are still needed though. I still think this issue should be included in the current milestone as it's really annoying.

I don't think this is going to be backported into WX.

For Android, if someone is interested in doing it, sure.

Oops, I mistook a yes/no prompt for panic handlers. Panic handlers haven't been implemented for android yet. This should be marked fixed in https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/682a6117b51de2fa22d05d93a4300729aeb834c4/

Ignore my last comment, Dolphin stopped doing a long-time panic message and it's consistent across Win 10 and Android.

That isn't a good enough solution, since it isn't possible to disable panic alerts while a panic alert is being shown. (For the reference, DolphinWX has had the ability to disable panic alerts in the settings for a very long time, and this issue was reported and accepted despite that.)
