my code with the modal menu popup now looks like this:

class MyApp(
    private val uiDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher, ...
) : Application, CoroutineScope by CoroutineScope(SupervisorJob() + Dispatchers.Default) {
    init {
        launch {                 // <-- new
            loadFonts()          // <-- new

            val button = ToggleButton().apply {
                font = defaultFont
                pointerChanged += PointerListener.pressed {
                    if (Button2 in it.buttons) {
                        it.consume()
                        val popupLocation = it.location

                        launch(uiDispatcher) {
                            println("show menu")  // <-- never excuted
                            modal {
                               ...
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            ...
        }
    }
}

so basically i've moved everything inside that outer`launch`-block and added a loadFonts() call which is similar to code in the example projects.
however, now the modal is not shown any more, the show menu println never gets executed when i right-click on the button.

when i move the code below loadFonts() outside of the outer launch then the popup's working again, but then my font might not yet be loaded

thanks, no need. i understand now what i did wrong. when i call the inner launch it calls it from the coroutinescope of the outer launch, but as soon as the execution returns from that outer scope, kotlin cancels all 'inner' jobs ("structured concurrency")... i must make sure i call the inner launch using [e-mail] {}
