FTS looks like a modal Window on Linux Mint with Mate Desktop, and IMO ought to be anyway. I close it when I'm done with it and wouldn't want the big main Calibre main window on top.

I'd never have suspected anything wrong as I'd expect such a window to be modal child.

Quoth, Kovid says it is a non-modal (child) window

Yes, he did. And I'd never have expected that. It would be awkward if the main window went on top.

I'd only find it awkward if the main window was *forced* to be on top ("always on top").

I'd prefer that both windows (the main Calibre GUI window and the FTS window) act independently of each other, which Kovid says is the case in the desktop environments he's tried
