[Bug 232159] [NEW] Modal window hidden below others

[Thomas Ott]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Description
----------------
(1) Open several web pages from links that request cookies, lets say from a newsletter
(2) Every URL pops up a modal window about cookie handling if enabled
(3) Every cookie pop-up hides the last one, therefore it looks like there is only one modal dialogue

Problem  
-----------
The upper-most cookie dialogue does not respond, since the one on the lowest layer has to be answered first. The confusing thing is, that it seems like the modal window is not responding, but in reality one has to move the upper windows aside to get to the lower ones first.

Solution
-----------
IMHO the modal dialogue that requests an input should always be on top of the others.
