Modal Shells in cascade [message #432793]

Hello,
I found one problem with SWT (SWT 3.0-M6 Linux GTK ).
I have some shell (main window).
On button click I open shell with SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL (form window) in
center of screen with some data. This works fine -> I cannot set focus to
main window's widgets.

shell = new Shell(parent, SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL | SWT.TITLE );

Now I press button on form window and open new, confirmation shell with
SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL again. This also works fine, only confirmation
window's widgets can be focused. Here I press for example cancel button
and return back to form window.
But it seems as if form window losts modal property because I can now also
set focus to main window's widgets (with form window opened and
displayed)?!

I tested also SWT.PRIMARY_MODAL with the same result.

Is this bug or I do something wrong?
Does exist some workaround?

Thank you very much.
Leos

Please enter a problem reprort with a stand alone snippet showing the
problem. GTK only has one type of modality and it seems we have a bug using
it. Thakns.
