Description Lasse Schuirmann 2015-04-20 13:21:22 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

 * Open a VM in a new window
 * Open its properties

Effects:

It is not possible to operate any other window than the properties dialog, including the primary window.

IMO the dialog shouldn't prohibit usage of the other windows, even if it did it would have to grey them out too to make this clear to the user.

Interesting, didn't see this before. Yeah, it should only be modal on top of its own window.

    app-window: Window group for each window
    
    Put each AppWindow instance and associated PropertiesWindow and
    WizardWindow instances in a separate window group. This fixes the issue
    of properties window blocking all windows from user.
