Bug Description
While in the midst of managing "Form templates", after opening the file picker, I decided I wanted to re-use a system level File Browser which I had docked (minimized), however despite that I clicked it and that it zoomed open, it did not surface into the front layer of the screen.
The same remained true after I closed the file picker which had been opened via the Template button even after re-clicking a minimized File Browser (screenshot) and even after I closed it and opened a new one from the Places menu.
If I exit a level (into Select form or letter template) then window behaviour is as expected. Screenshot at

--> Apparently GTK (in wxWidgets at least) does not offer a stay-on-top policy per-application. Dialogs seemt to be either ALWAYS-ON-TOP (apparently on everything GTK if combined with MODAL) or not stay-on-top'able at all.
Needs converting of that dialog to using the GNUmed standard generic edit area dialog (should make the problem disappear).
