OpenDialog not displaying Title (mac only?)

I suspect this is old, but I've forgotten the answer.

On a mac (I think it's mac-only), OpenDialog fails to display the "title".

I have been reduced to code that looks like this:

  IJ.showStatus("Choose an image ...");
  od = new OpenDialog("Choose an image ...");

This seems like abuse of showStatus - but it works.  The problem is that new users don't often see the
message in the status bar (it is a bit unobtrusive).

so...is this a known bug?  Does it have a known (better than mine) workaround?

Perhaps IJ.showMessage(...) would be better, but that seems to entail an extra "dismiss" click from the users.  They don't like that.  Trained users .don't really need the prompt, and new users often don't SEE the prompt.
