What
New helpers treat a full-screen panel with no surrounding dialog host as a dialog for the purposes of suppressing other interface elements, so status text and hints return nothing while such a screen is up.
Details
The same suppression applies for the older dialog focus state and for other active panels
Only the helpers are present; nothing user-facing depends on them yet

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
