Thanks for the update. I can’t think of anything that should affect 
this except that 9523 was built with updated develoepr tools (and thus 
SDK). I seem to recall that last time we “fixed it” the only thing 
that really seemed to have changed was (also) the build environment 
(updating to building on 10.9), though strange that the fix only lasted 
a few builds.

The Commit Window itself is a standalone application which hasn’t been 
rebuilt with the new developer tools / SDK, so perhaps that’s 
triggering it?

Next build features a new (native) commit window, so that might fix it.
