Since December I was only using MTP Library. It doesnt have these issues for me.
Thanks Rustyspoon,

I do have 2024. I've updated every year since I first got the program in 2017, but I have barely had time to even boot it up, let alone explore the latest features, in the last couple years due to personal and professional constraints on time.

I'm looking to get back into it now, and catch up on everything. I watched some of the update videos, and the MTP actually looks like the coolest and most groundbreaking features in years. The thing is, I am looking for a very particular drumbeat right now to fit a track I am working on from the ground up in Reaper, rather than BiaB or RB (it is all MIDI at this point, and I want to supplement with RDs/RTs, rather than the other way around). I like the "zoomed out" view of the RD picker with all the beats where I can preview all the ^variations from the right sidebar and make use notes, because I already have the sound in my head, and am looking for the quickest way to find a match, and only afterward use the MTP to get the exact patterns and voicings to match from the RTs and RDs I settle on. I probably should have checked this can be done as quickly and efficiently from the MTP as it is from the picker boxes. And yeah, I should probably update my signature to reflect that I have 2024, haha

Edit: I just tried it from the MTP, and I love it! I was initially worried it would be more streamlined such that I would not be able to preview variations from there, but that feature is in that dialogue box, and it also has the ability to select stems and preview from there. Incredible! I really need to dive back into BiaB headfirst--it seems like I have many wonderful features to catch up on :-)

As for my initial problem with the stuck dialogue box; I decided to just kill the program from Task Manager, and, on relaunch, could not duplicate the issue in the RD picker, so I can't really determine whether it would be any different if I was working from the MTP. Bisacally, it occurs at the oddest times when I work on multiple things at once/switching between windows and dragging them between 2 displays, and I only encounter the issue when I try to return to BiaB such that I never know what specific action was responsible for the malfunction.
