Comment:

 I intended to mark this as a dupe of another ticket, but apparently the
 described behaviour hasn't been documented yet. Related issues are #1138,
 #2576 and #453.

 Modal dialogs are hard to get right - even more so if they're global
 (application-modal isn't much easier, but the effects are limited to a
 single application / activity). We need to try harder to avoid them.
