from pyface.api import AboutDialog, ConfirmationDialog, FileDialog, MessageDialog, SplitDialog

dialog_cls = [AboutDialog, ConfirmationDialog, FileDialog, MessageDialog, SplitDialog]

for e, cls in enumerate(dialog_cls):
    dl = cls(title=str(e))
    dl.open()

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the `title` attribute handling in each dialog class (AboutDialog, ConfirmationDialog, FileDialog, MessageDialog, SplitDialog) and trace how it's passed to the underlying GUI toolkit. Focus on why SplitDialog works while others do not.
