STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. After the update to digiKam 8.7.0, at the first run, it offers to download additional features. 2. Since these features are not well explained (especially the first memory hog called “Use automatic AI tools”), I clicked on the Help button in the dialog to find out more in order to decide. 3. In a second or so, the help window goes in the background, digiKam goes in the front but it’s uselessly blocked by the unreachable open dialog that automatically opened at step 1. OBSERVED RESULT digiKam is shown on the screen, but no longer usable: clicks are transformed by Windows in warning sounds as something is wrong. EXPECTED RESULT Keep digiKam in the background, let the dialog open, let the help window open and then let the user choose what to install. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10
