chances are it's firefox - chrome, firefox and just about every browser these
days wants to do its own decorating (CSD) so it can put tabs in the titlebar.
so they set up mwm hints to ask for no decoration. so check your ffox settings
to toggle this on and off and restart ffox etc.
if you really want you can go digging with xprop on the window :) but my guess
is it's this and it's asking for no border (CSD) and then getting things wrong
internally (or it's not - it's actually drawing just as it intends/should and
yes - that is you lose e's titlebar and thus can't shade and that is what they
want - it's drawing its own titlebar and borders now).

well "a dialog window" depends... what are the properties? it may function as a
dialog but the app puts no hints on it to make it apparent to a wm that it is
(no wm_transient hint - or this doesn't point to the correct parent). of it
properly set this e will actually also move dialogs with the parent (move
parent and dialog follows)e will also ensure the dialog is above the parent (so
restack parent, child dialog follows and stays immediately above it). if app
doesn't, then e has no idea. also e will center the dialog on thew parent
window if this is set ... unless the app asks the window to be placed
somewhere else specific. here's a sample app you can compile to test this:
/* To Build
cc dia.c -o dia `pkg-config --cflags --libs elementary`
*/
#include <Elementary.h>
static void
on_click(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
{
Evas_Object *win, *pad, *btn;
win = elm_win_util_dialog_add(data, "Dialog", "Dia");
elm_win_autodel_set(win, EINA_TRUE);
pad = elm_frame_add(win);
elm_object_style_set(pad, "pad_small");
elm_win_resize_object_add(win, pad);
evas_object_show(pad);
btn = elm_button_add(win);
elm_object_text_set(btn, "Next Dialog");
elm_object_content_set(pad, btn);
evas_object_smart_callback_add(btn, "clicked", on_click, win);
evas_object_show(btn);
evas_object_show(win);
}
EAPI_MAIN int
elm_main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Evas_Object *win, *pad, *btn;
elm_policy_set(ELM_POLICY_QUIT, ELM_POLICY_QUIT_LAST_WINDOW_CLOSED);
win = elm_win_util_standard_add("Main", "Hello, World!");
elm_win_autodel_set(win, EINA_TRUE);
pad = elm_frame_add(win);
elm_object_style_set(pad, "pad_huge");
elm_win_resize_object_add(win, pad);
evas_object_show(pad);
btn = elm_button_add(win);
elm_object_text_set(btn, "Show The First Dialog");
elm_object_content_set(pad, btn);
evas_object_smart_callback_add(btn, "clicked", on_click, win);
evas_object_show(btn);
evas_object_show(win);
elm_run();
return 0;
}
ELM_MAIN()
