This code: https://github.com/BCDA-APS/tiled-viz2023/blob/88f8e4c27de55ef44760a46f25709d1b4ed87d48/gemviz23/demo/mainwindow.py#L42

should be changed to:

 about.exec_()

Two modes of dialog box:

style PyQt code effect
modal widget.exec() (same as widget.exec_()) dialog must be closed before any other parts of the UI can be used
modeless widget.show() can use other parts of the UI while dialog is open
