Re: [udig-devel] [jira] Created: (UDIG-1460) Style dialog is system modal on Windows

This is really simple to fix.  When a dialog is created usually the
setStyle method is called with SWT style bits one of which can be the
modality of the dialog.  That needs to be changed that is all there is
to it.

I will race you to fix it...  Let me know if you manage it if I dont first.
