Hi Peter,

you're right. Displaying modal forms as children of a Top Level form (I think this is what you mean), the TL form is totally blocked. I didn't test that, since this isn't an option for the current app. I've already played around with TL forms a lot. They have advantages and disadvantages and I'm still not sure, what's the better way.

Thanks very much,
Armin

I am not 100 % sure of this, because I can only look at our own app(s) running, surely not showing _SCREEN at all. In fact, I had to explicitly get rid of it, which brought some anomalies. Difficult to test in the production environment as well, because the behaviour is slightly different there.
