Some sub-dialogs are implemented as sheets of their own, whose presentation requires suppressing the parent sheet while the child is active. Other sub-dialogs are implemented as unmovable application-modal dialogs (on top of the main preference sheet). There should be a consistent policy. Of course, the real cause of this problem is that the Preference dialog is implemented as a sheet instead of a separate dialog window (see bug 222686). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Choose the "Preferences..." menu item 2.Under the "General" category, press the "Fonts & Colors..." button 3.Later, still under "General", press the "Languages..." button Actual Results: Note that the "Fonts & Colors" sub-dialog is implemented differently from the "Languages" sub-dialog Expected Results: The preference dialog should be in its own movable dialog window, with the "Font & Colors" and "Languages" (and any other) child dialog implemented as sheets.
