Hi,

just a wild guess, probably you are using a desktop environment that
changed the behaviour for child widows this way, to prevent that some
child windows are hidden below another window. That a window
disappears below another window happens sometimes even when using well
programmed environments, not only when using the ignorant programmed
KDE, that doesn't care at all about (free)desktop standards related to
child window handling.

On my Arch install I don't see this behaviour. Firefox's "Save As"
child window covers the PDF without darkening it. I can move the "Save
As" child window without moving the Firefox window.

$ pacman -Q firefox; pacman -Q openbox
firefox 99.0.1-1
openbox 3.6.1-8

However, why do you want to move the "Save As" window at all?

Regards,
Ralf
