That’s because most of the “windows” are really dialog boxes as far as the GUI 
toolkit is concerned and it complains if dialog boxes aren’t set up to behave 
that way. There’s an open bug, 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794853 
, about converting some of 
those dialogs to windows. If you have any in particular that you’d like 
converted, please comment on the bug.

[GNC] sub-windows always staying above main window

[Amish]

Hello

This is a bit of inconvenience introduced in version 3.0

Earlier when I open sub-windows like "Find transaction", "Due invoices 
reminder", "Due bills reminder", "Find invoice" etc., a small window 
would open.


Earlier after opening those windows I could press "Alt-Tab" and switch 
back to Main Gnucash window.


Now I can still Alt-tab but that small window will remain on top of the 
Main window covering major part of Main window. Every time I am forced 
to minimize small window to see Full contents of Main window.


Can we make it like older version? Where small windows simply go behind 
Main window on Alt-tab.


Thank you

PS: Using Linux - Arch Linux. Gnucash v 3.0.
