Do you mean a browser window or an isc.Window?

If you see the prompt below the Window this means the fetch happened before you drew the window. Use the "draws" log in the Developer Console to understand the ordering, however, the most likely cause is incorrect settings for autoDraw (see the docs for autoDraw) which, in combination with autoFetchData:true, could cause a fetch to be initiated too soon.

Message hidden by 'contacting server...'

I've found a different problem. I tried to connect to a remote server as a datasource and received a modal dialog warning about making cross-site calls, but the warning is mostly hidden by the overlapping message panel 'Contacting server....' that never goes away.
The warning panel (title=Note) says to the effect:
'SmartClient can't directly contract URL...'

The problem is the modal dialog cannot be dismissed because the remote server is never contacted. (see attachment) and I have to close the browser window.

Thought you'd like to know about this...

It's a little frustrating because the warning note is providing some useful information that I can almost make out. Something to do with use XJSONDataSource or JSON??? protocol (which allows cross-site calls).
