However, this is a very legitimate complaint that has bothered me for
years, so I finally did something about it. :)  For Master / 0.27, the
dialog timeouts are disabled for these dialogs:
  Adjust Audio Sync
  Adjust Subtitle Delay
  Adjust Subtitle Zoom
  Adjust Time Stretch

Changes made are applied in real time (as before), and the dialog goes away
only when you press SELECT, EXIT, or some other action that brings up a
different dialog.
