Good idea, you should never have to close a dialogue box in any multi-tasking environment in order to do anything. It seems to have been a peculiar thing that sprang up in Windows 3 applications and has persisted. Ok if the dialogue is linked to an object and you unselect that object the values in the dialogue become undefined so greyed out. If you click on another objet its properties appear in the dialogue. Inkscape is much better than Draw in this respect and it is one reason I use Inkscape almost exclusively now.
