Description
Currently, modal dialogs are modal AWT-wide, so if a modal dialog is displayed,
no input is allowed to any windows other than the dialog box.

Instead, modal dialogs should be modal AppContext-wide, so if a modal dialog is
displayed, no input is allowed to any other windows in that AppContext.
