Steps:
I was in a party in Sea of Clouds when I saw that an A rank hunt had spawned. I made my way over to the A rank hunt and wanted to join the hunting party that was already there. To do so I had to leave my current party.

So I selected my name in the party menu, right clicked my name, navigated down to leave party, and left clicked it. A confirmation box came up asked "Are you sure you want to leave the party?" (possibly not the exact quote). There were two options in this confirmation box. "yes" and "no". I moved my mouse button over to "yes" and as I was in the process of clicking the button, someone in my current party completed a teleport.

A new confirmation box came up over the confirmation box I had already opened, asking if I too would like to teleport. Sadly I do not possess the superhuman comprehension necessary to stop myself in the microsecond required to notice this happened before I released my mouse button and so I ended up clicking "yes" to the teleport, which landed me in another zone far away from my intended target.

At this time the other party (which I wanted to join but was unable to on account of not having left my current party) killed the A rank and I was deprived of Seals and tomes.

Now as a computer programmer myself I can only imagine what the programmers were thinking when they decided that new confirmation boxes could overwrite existing ones. I can assure you there are far better ways to handle such an interaction, like for example, if when calling a confirmation box you check the initial area, if there is already a box there, you place the new box somewhere else on the screen, or simply minimize the new confirmation box into the notifications panel.

Since this is not the case and instead these boxes overwrite eachother causing issues and loss of progress to players, I can only imagine that this is a bug. A problem that the programmers didn't think to encounter. I assume that because if this is intentional it's a pretty big slap in the face to players.
