Example:
If you are trying to fix a subtle click, the click may be audible but not visible in the waveform. So if you inadvertently made the selection a bit too long for the Repair effect, how would you know that the Repair effect silently failed? Obviously you would know as soon as you play the track, but by then you will probably need to hunt for the precise location of the click all over again.
Understandable. The thing I want to avoid is to have to grab the mouse and click "OK". This looks simple, but while currently editing a difficult recording it turns out to be a real nuisance. Maybe the message could be displayed in the status bar for a few seconds or in another place where it does not interrupt the workflow.
