Description Elias Probst 2016-03-01 16:42:07 UTC

When moving a modal window to another activity, its parent window won't follow, leaving a "disabled" window on the current activity.

Scenario:
- 2 Activities (Devel/Media)
- 1 Dolphin window on "Devel", modal Dolphin shortcut configuration window opened

How to reproduce:
- Move Dolphin shortcut configuration window to "Media" activity through titlebar context menu

What happens:
This exposes 2 bugs/issues:

1. The Dolphin main window stays behind on the "Devel" activity although its modal child-window was moved to another activity. As the main window is disabled as long as the model window is shown it is unusable. Main + modal windows should be considered a "window group" which has common activity assignments

2. When trying to also move the disabled main window to the "Media" activity, the modal window suddenly shows up again on the current "Devel" activity, so it needs to be re-assigned again.
