Something that looks like a bug to me (or at least a to-be-improved-design) :

open kicad(with a project loaded), open pcbnew then minimise project manager window.

select a footprint, chose "change module" then from the module change window, open component viewer.

nothing seems to happen, kicad frozen.

But in fact component viewer is opened, but minimised, on top of project manager window. Component viewer window does not appears in taskbar.

Restore project manager window from taskbar : only component viewer window pops up. Close that window, project manager still minimised.

Also when you have multiple displays, if project manager is opened on another display than pcbnew, several modal dialogs including that component viewer appears on top of project manager instead of pcbnew, so window pops up in a different display. Pretty unfriendly.

Same thing happens for some dialogs in eeschema.

I'm working on linux+KDE, I'm not sure the behaviour is the same on other systems.
