Thanks for that. Somewhat bizarre that you need such an overhead just to show a Toast! But hey, a workaround anyway. Thanks.

Np. Between this and other silly things, I think my head is spinning :)P

(I know people in the linked issue thread seem to be feeling its not PS at fault... but ultimately its PS that has the problem so it is at fault. Kind of feels like Linux's xorg verses Wayland destruction that is still picking up the pieces after many years. Can't do anything about it but deal with workarounds. PS devs should code in another way but I get the impression they won't from its not their problem type of thinking that is prevalent among many devs. Its only legit to me if they wanted to cut out lots of uses.)
