modal windows open from window.open does not appear to be modal in anyway.  The
opening window is still able to be accessed and actions can be taken on it. This
works better on Windows being as it atleast keeps the modal window on top even
though it does not stop the main window from being accessed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a new window with window.open(url,name,"modal")
2. focus back to parent window
3. change values of fields in parent window (assumes there are some)
