Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.2.5-2
Severity: normal

Hi there,

Epiphany causes some trouble when a new dialog window is created while a
menu is open.  Reproduce like this:

1. Go to some (slow-responding) site that you know will popup a dialog window
   (like some URL not found, connection refused, enter username /
   password, etc.).
2. Open any menu before the dialog window shows up.
3. Wait until the dialog window shows up.
4. Now it is not possible to close the menu (which stays in the
   foreground), and it is not possible to move the dialog window or
   bring it to the foreground (even though it is focused).

This is particularly troublesome when having some big menu (like the
Bookmarks menu, in my case) open that (partially) hides the buttons on
the dialog window, because now there is no way that I'll be able to
press those buttons.

Additionaly, for dialogs that have text entry fields (like one that asks
for a username / password), it is possible to enter text in the fields,
but the cursor is not shown, which is weird.

Thanks for your time,
Bram Senders
