Using Fl_Window (Fl_Double_Window) + set_non_modal() is definitely easier, and
does not hog input. Thanks for mentioning that, Ian.
New problem, though. Test code is below.
Regardless of what group/win type I use, mouse input will pass through the
popup to the window/widgets below. This acts like an insertion-order thing. So,
widget is drawn z-top, but it is z-below for input. I can "fix" the input order
by making sure the other widget additions occur before the suggestion box.
In my project, though, I can't control/guarantee the insertion order of the
widget into the parent group ... so I'm a bit stumped.
Ideas? I'll keep reading docs/threads ...
