JavaScript text input panel is not displayed

Discussed in #163

am currently testing the SEB for our basic programming exams.
For the exam we are using a third party IDE (pythonandturtle.com).

Problem: The input prompt window from the IDE is not shown in SEB MAC(3.0) but in windows (SEB 3.3.1) it is working without any problem.
Both case were tested with the same SEB config file on MAC OS Monterey 12.0.1 .

Screenshots from both cases are attached:
SEB_Popup_Windows
SEB_Popup_Mac

For the test, I have tried SEB with the w3schools link as well: https://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_prompt. The result was the same, the prompt window is just not shown and return empty string value as a result.

is there any specific setting for SEB in MAC that allows the input window? or is there any workaround for this case?

Many thanks in advance for your work!

The JS text input panel is implemented in SEB 3.1, the macOS preview version 7 (3.1pre7) contains it. Maybe you can confirm it works for you as well.

As mentioned in #176, I have a similiar problem. The prompt() is (silently) not shown in Classic WebView mode. When using Modern mode, it even crashes SEB.

3.1pre10 fixes the issue for me.
