Public bug reported: Here i will us specific applications as an example, but i have checked with others as well. Using specific ones for clarity.
To replicate: Open a file manager Start a video in VLC Set "Always on top" on VLC window Observe that you can continue browsing files in the file manager, and the VLC window will remain on top of the file manager Press delete on any file The dialog box to confirm the deletion will open What happens: VLC window will go below the file manager window, and will stay below even after the dialog will go away What i expect to happen: Dialog should go over the VLC window, but the file manager should not go over it. alternatively if that isn't possible VLC window should become visible again as soon as the dialog gets dismissed.
