I actually think that is by design Gabriele. I think that is why we have
center-face to give us the same positioning that inform does. Inform is
useful in this manner as we can ensure that inform is useful for providing a
warning message or to ensure that no other window receives events until the
inform windows is closed/unviewed.

Subject: [REBOL] BUG in INFORM
> This is probably a known issue, I hope resubmitting is not a
> problem.
>
> BUG: INFORM does not set the default window feel
>
> EXAMPLE:
>
> If you wonder why your requestors don't respond to keystrokes,
> this is the reason. REQUEST assigns the #"Y" key to the "yes"
> button, #"N" to the "no" button and ESC (#"^(1B)") to the "cancel"
> button; however, these keys don't work (except for ESC that works
> because it is handled separately in SYSTEM/VIEW/WAKE-EVENT).
>
> >> system/product
> == View
> >> system/version
> == 1.2.8.3.1
> >> request "Hello there."
>
> (try pressing Y or N)
>
> REASON:
>
> Keys are handled in SYSTEM/VIEW/WINDOW-FEEL; the VIEW function
> sets the feel of the window to that, but INFORM doesn't.
>
> FIX:
>
> inform: func [
> {Display an exclusive focus panel for alerts, dialogs, and
requestors.}
> panel [object!]
> /offset where [pair!] "Offset of panel"
> /title ttl [string!] "Dialog window title"
> /timeout time
> ][
> panel/text: copy any [ttl "Dialog"]
> panel/offset: either offset [where] [system/view/screen-face/size -
panel/size / 2]
> panel/feel: system/view/window-feel ; <<-----
> show-popup panel
> either time [wait time] [do-events]
> ]
>
> Also, I'd suggest to change the keys in REQUEST to be #"y" and
> #"n" instead of #"Y" and #"N" that require pressing shift. The
> RETURN key would be a nice synonym for #"y" (at least in the case
> of REQUEST/OK).
