Application (Zotero, flatpak, X-server) opens confirmation dialog windows in background
Is it possible to force an app to open dialogs in the foreground? Zotero mostly seems to open dialogs (like "Move to Trash" confirmations) in the background (i.e. the main Zotero window stays visible but dims, and doesn't accept any mouse input). The dialog does accept keyboard input though, if I press Esc the Zotero main window gets focus back.I have to Alt-Tab to another application then back to Zotero to see the dialog.

It's even weirder than I thought. While the dialog opens in the background, moving the mouse cursor over the area it occupies causes the dialog to be drawn on top (which is how it should appear to begin with)!
