Description
I got an error dialog with a traceback that made the dialog taller than the screen (Mac OS 10.10) so the Ok button was not visible, the dialog has no window frame close buttons, and it is modal so it is not possible to even quit Chimera.
The only way out is to press the Return key in the error dialog, since the Ok button is the default button, this closes the error dialog. But it isn't obvious -- I was about to force quit just before I stumbled on this fix.
