I see Matt and Greg have already pitched in, but here's an extra
thought, in case it helps...
It may be a problem with which regular window the non-modal window is
parented too.
A while back, on OSX with fltk-1.1.something I encountered a similar
sounding issue with non-modal windows, and it turned out that the issue
was something to do with which "regular" window was "current" when the
non-modal window was created.
What I ended up doing was (hacky pseudo-code follows...)
...create main_win then...
main_win->show();
...create other regular windows...
...then...
main_win->show();
...create a non-modal window...
main_win->show();
...create another non-modal window...
main_win->show();
...create another non-modal window...
...etc...
Note all the "redundant" main_win->show(); calls in there - they "fixed"
my window ordering issues.
This might help you, too - though probably not, since window ordering
under OSX is a bit weird at the best of times so this is possibly some
totally other problem!
