Steps to reproduce:

Open a calendar event in its own new window (not a tab).
Click anywhere within the Thunderbird main application window.

Actual results:

Thunderbird main application window is not raised on top of the calendar event's window. The calendar event's window remains on top of the main application window.

Expected results:

Thunderbird main application window should be raised on top of the calendar event's window.

"Main raised on top" has always been the expected behavior, and would be consistent with the rest of Thunderbird, ie consistent with the behavior when opening an email message in its own new window, followed by clicking within the Thunderbird main application window.

Using xprop, I notice that a calendar event opens up in a new window with:
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG

...but an email message opens up in a new window with:
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL
