Description griffiths_andy 2026-04-15 14:48:36 UTC 
SUMMARY
New Album dialog is locked up behind Move to Album dialog, and unusable

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select items to move 
2. Open 'Move to Album' (either by right-click or using ctrl-A)
3. Navigate to album where I wish to create a sub-album
4. Press New Album button
5. New album dialog appears, but appears behind Move to Album dialog (had to hunt for it first time), and is unusable, locked by presence of Move to Album dialog. All clicks result in warning beeps

OBSERVED RESULT
New Album dialog is locked up, cannot be used. Workaround is to create destination new album first, before selecting and moving items.

EXPECTED RESULT
New Album dialog should be accessible
