MCPE-159185Form not opening on chat event
In the Gametest Engine the chat is preventing forms from opening.
Steps to reproduce:
- listen on beforeChatEvent
- create a form for the sender of the message
- The chat is still open and prevents the form from opening
A boolean to close the chat window in the event would help Creators to prevent this bug and probably be helpful for other things too.

Hi,
here the link to a video that shows the bug.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vjletm21482bvrr/Minecraft%202022-08-09%2011-40-41.mp4?dl=0
The form opens three seconds after the chat event (if the chat is closed).
Hi, thank you for the video.
Could you please also attach an example add-on to your report?
this example instantly triggers a form on any message
There is a new 'cancelationReason' property of the ModalFormResponse class (and other script UIs) that can be used to determine whether the form was canceled (by the player or active chat window). To use this, there's a required change in the manifest file: version of the dependent modules (mojang-minecraft, mojang-minecraft-UI and so on) need to be changed from [0, 1, 0] to "1.0.0-beta". For more details please see the official documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/mojang-minecraft-ui/modalformresponse
Here's an example of how it can be used:
async function promptUI(player) { //create the custom UI const ui = new ModalFormData() .title(`title`) .toggle(`toggle`) .slider(`slider`, 0, 10, 1); //show the settings UI to the player const playerResponse = await ui.show(player); //if player is busy (has some other screen currently open), retry if (playerResponse.cancelationReason == `userBusy`) { promptUI(player); return; } }Please let us know if using the new property fixes the issue.

No, the new property does not fix the issue. I already built a workaround that detects the possible reasons and restarts the form if necessary. As I said an option to close open windows would fix the issue.
Is this still an issue in the latest version? If yes, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter)?
