Description

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open the taskbar
  2. Navigate to any of menu dialogs (e.g., Renderer Settings)
  3. Use Alt+Tab to switch focus to another application/desktop
  4. Use a mouse click to re-focus on Doomsday

On performing the last step, the window is focused as expected, however the current top-most dialog/popup is closed.

Use a mouse click to re-focus on Doomsday

Clicking inside the Doomsday UI? AFAIK, this is normal Windows UI behavior: windows do not get focus first and react on subsequent clicks; they always react and get focus as a side effect. One can click on the window title bar, or the icon in the task bar, to give focus to the window without sending a click event to the window contents.

As such I don't see a bug in the current behavior.

Precisely. The bug is that this behavior is not replicated.
