ShowModal always brings up MainForm, is this normal? (GTK)

All my forms are auto-created (is this relevant?). When I call (in MainForm) Form1.Show and then Form1 calls Form2.ShowModal, the MainForm is ALWAYS brought up behind Form2.

If you have a document open and you want to work side-by-side with Form1 (and eventually Form2), you need to move MainForm somewhere (and sometimes there's no space) to avoid blocking the view of the document. Even if I minimize the MainForm before calling Form2.ShowModal, the MainForm always comes up.

Is this normal? Is there a way to go around it?

Create issue and attach example project. Also write (explain) as much possible about widgetset if you're under x11 (eg distro, window manager, libs version if you're talking about gtk2 or qt).

Yes, I experience both in Windows and Linux (KDE). This applies to non-Lazarus made apps as well, so I guess it's system defined.
