I've now had a chance to try in Linux and Windows11 (both on Sigil 2.8.0) and the basic buggy behaviour is there but slightly different.

Linux: the cursor changes to a pair of self orbiting small circles (normally seen only during a 'Save' operation). Clicking on No produces a new htmlToC as expected. Clicking on Yes overwrites the existing with the new material as expected. Both cases automatically close the dialog (unlike in the MacBook).
Windows: same behaviour except the cursor changes to an egg timer shape.

In both Linux and Windows, after overwriting the htmlToC with the new mods, when clicking to the right of an entry in the Preview window, the Code View aligns one entry lower than desired (same as the MacBook).

Overall, something not quite right, but the Mac experience is worse.

Ho Ho, Becky - we were both writing at the same time!!
