[Lazarus] Question about modal forms behaviour under windows

Hi all, I don't use windows, so don't know what exact behaviour should be. Now: MainForm + One modal form, minimizing modal form does not minimize mainform (application). (tested with win32 and qt-win32 widgetsets) X11: Minimizing modal form minimizes complete application. (qt, gtk2) My
