Hi Chris,

What is the status of your patch ?

On W7, 32 bits, adding
progressDialog->Show();
in zones_by_polygon_fill_functions.cpp, line 154 fixes this problem.

This is not surprising, the progress dialog has the attribute wxPD_AUTO_HIDE, which is usual and
correct.
Therefore it is no more shown (but not destroyed) after the first time the max count is reached.
