#28 Color dialog not displayed on top of other dialogs in Windows

[Martin Sourada]

Select color dialog is not always displayed as top dialog. It can even be sometimes covered by the main window (rarely) or other dialogs, from which it was opened (often). This happens on Windows build only, Linux build is OK.

How to reproduce (one of the possibilities):

1. Edit existing html tag with a special dialog window (F3)
2. From there edit style attribute (css style dialog window)
3. Form there add color and click on the color button

Actual result:
Select color dialog window is hidden under the other two dialogs and cannot be accessed by usual ways. You can find it in the Windows' window list (in main panel) and thus move it into view. It's still behind the other dialogs, even if active.

Expected result:
Select color dialog window behaves as in Linux, i.e. opens on top of other opened dialog windows.

Other info:
As, unlike the other dialogs, it appears in the window list I suspect the dialog window might have some basic parameters wrongly set. I wonder why in Windows only though...
