Preventing fill dialog in Action

I've recorded a set of actions that includes several Fill steps.  When I run the actions, the Fill dialog opens up  even though I haven't asked it to in the Action setup.  Is there a way to have it run without it opening the dialog?

Sorry about the lack of details.  Here you go:

Adobe Photoshop CC

2017.1.1 Release

20170425.r.252 x64

on Mac OS X 10.12.5

Fill Settings (as shown in Actions tab):

Using: color

Hue: 329*

Saturation: 100

Brightness: 50.001

Opacity: 100%

Mode: normal

I had also tried the Fill action by preceding it with setting a foreground color, then Fill with the foreground color, but it still popped up the dialog.

Your sure you don't have Toggle Dialog enabled for the Fill action step(s)?

Yes, positive.  It acts as if that box is checked.  I've tried toggling it on and off, but the dialog still comes up.

Can you post a screenshot of one of the actions showing all the steps?

Anything unusual about the documents your running actions on?

What color mode and bit depth are the documents?

Below is the entire set of actions.  I select two different color ranges, make them into new layers, futz with them a bit -- including doing the fill -- then eventually flatten them down.

The files are single layer TIFFs, 8 bits/channel, RGB color

Before each Fill step in your action there is Apply Locking Current Layer.

What kind of locking of the layer is that?

If you disable that step does the Fill dialog still appear when running the action?
