Description Sorin Papuc CLA 2016-02-27 17:12:19 EST 
When Eclipse is maximized in it's own space, dialogs opened by other dialogs are stuck bellow the Eclipse 'window' and and thus inaccessible,
even though they do have the input focus.

The situation is very confusing and at the very least it makes the feature unavailable, while at worst the Eclipse session must be killed (if the second dialog can not be dismissed blindly - with Esc, for example).

Example:
- maximize Eclipse in it's own space
- bring up the 'Launch Configuration' dialog
- create a new Launch group (or edit an existing one)
- click the 'Add' button
 
 The Launch definition dialog grabs and holds the keyboard focus but is not visible, not even
 after moving the parent dialog away.
