Timeout issue caused by the js.prompt input field

[Lafatalite]

The issue occurs when using the 'Add Device' button in the device panel, the 'New Blockly' in the jog page, and other places where js.prompt is used. When clicking the button that triggers the js.prompt input field, if you wait for 15 seconds before entering the content and click 'OK', a 'remote host not found' error will appear. However, if you quickly enter the content and click 'OK', the error does not occur. The initial guess is that this is due to asynchronous waiting timeout, and the function blocks the interface's loop update.

Yes, you are correct that the js.prompt is blocking the event loop. Most timeouts in RR are around 15 seconds so if the box is open for more than that the connection will drop. The fix is to replace js.prompt with BootstrapVue dialog boxes.

js.alert will have the same problem.
