This is a cloned report. The issue is that when I grab, the clicking on a non interactive window should raise the application. This could be done by binding <Button-1> on the window that has the grab, in which case we will have to change BWidgets and other dialogs to support that behavior. If this could be done by Tk the implementation would be much easier.
Original error:
If you select New Project from the File menu, a New Project window appears. If you do other things, you can get into a state where the window is hidden underneath other windows. Clicking on the main window does not bring the New Project window back to the top level. Thus, it looks like the application is stuck. You can close/iconify all your windows and find the New Project window again, but it's an annoyance.
To reproduce:
1) Start Author
2) Select File->New Project
3) Move another window over the New Project window
4) Click on any visible Author windows
--> The New Project window does not come into focus; the other ones don't either.
It would be nice if you could click on any of the other windows and have the New Project window pop up again from the background.
