No, I checked the example in the ticket as well as the handling of dialogs in general on Mac.
Unfortuantely, I always need to ask a colleague to test my JavaFX Builds on Mac, but maybe it's time to setup a VM on my Windows machine. 
Are there any recommendations I may should follow for the setup? :-)

Regarding the system tests, I checked the nested event loop ones on Windows and they work for me.

I just pushed a change which may fixes this for Mac as well.
The change is also logical and is synchronized with the other changes I made to nested event loops.
Will ask my colleague as well to test my changes again + run the most obvious (related) system tests on Mac.

I also will do a much bigger testing soon, I have an application that relies heavily on nested event loops for blocking the UI while doing background work.
