The issue I was tackling is when you have two dialogs in quick succession (as happens when shopping - the you have paid quickly followed by the you have received dialog). It is not uncommon (in fact surprisingly common) that the second dialog appears just as you are closing the first with the result it is the second which closes. Whether the action is reversible becomes somewhat mute as you often haven't had time to see what the dialog was.
This happens to me A LOT. I'll be clicking on one of the buttons on a
popup, and as the mouse button is moving those few microns to close the
contact, something else pops up - and is gone. And I have no idea what
it said.

Did I just keep something or join something or allow something? You tell
me. I saw it flicker onto my screen, but not for long enough to see the
words before it was gone.
