Hi All,

I'm wondering if the behavior of some dialogs is a desired feature,
or unintentional. Try the following:

Open an address book.
Open a Sorting Office dialog.
From the address book, open an address.
Switch back to the Sorting Office dialog.

The Sorting Office dialog appears to have focus (the caption bar is
colored, instead of grayed out), but it cannot be moved or resized,
nor does it respond to any other actions. The Edit Address dialog must
be closed before the Sorting Office dialog will respond. The same with
the Edit Mail Message dialog.

To my way of thinking, it's nice to see the dialog, but the caption should
retain the inactive (grayed out) color, so as to avoid confusion.

Just noticed: Switching via <Alt>-<Tab> is not possible. Once the Edit
Address dialog is opened, the other windows (Edit Mail Message,
Sorting Office, etc.) disappear from the "Z-Order" (and the dialog
displayed during <Alt>-<Tab>ing). They can, however, be reached via
the TaskBar (and mouse), which makes me think that this behavior is
unintentional, and potentially a Windows misbehavior.
