Does the Policy Deferral Option Dialog window display its message when the system is in Single Application mode (Full Screen)? We want to use the Deferral Option on OS Update Policies, but only if it does not display the Deferral Window when the system is in Single Application mode.

Update:

I tested this extensively, here are my results:
The only application that hides the Deferral Window is Keynote. All Microsoft Office, all other Apple, and all third party applications do not hide the Deferral Window.
I do not know if this will cause a problem for us yet, as this is more of a user expectations issue at this point.

Hey @johnmcnair you may want to see if you can appropriate some of the stuff in patchoo. It has a nice deferral feature and lets you specify applications that, when running, will hide the deferral window. It also allows deferral per amount of deferrals (10, 2, etc.) rather than a countdown to a date.

… at least until we get some real patch management options and maybe something along the lines of my old Feature Request.
