Comment(by garycmartin):

 Replying to [comment:2 tomeu]:
 > I think the actual bug is that you can go away from a modal alert like
 the control panel. Once you get into such a modal window, you shouldn't be
 able to interact with other screens.

 If so, then I think this bug may be my fault :-) I lobbied that folks
 making control panel changes would very likely need access to other
 information. Classic case would be trying to enter a new jabber server
 address and needing to refer to some wiki page in Browse. Or when
 reporting bugs where the first thing you need is the information in "About
 my XO" so you can report the various OFW, distro builds, Sugar version
 details. Or just reading a help document and going through the CP options
 available.

 OT: I must admit I'm not a fan of the current CP modal presentation and
 side effects, and was disappointed that the new naming dialogue copied the
 style (I was hoping for an alert style naming dialogue, alerts seem a much
 better UI interaction).
