XUL <panel>s should get closed when a modal dialog is opened. I saw this with the xul-popups rewrite applied.
Flags: blocking1.9?
Panels aren't supposed to close unless the user clicks outside it, or hidePopup is called. I suppose I could make a special exception when a modal window is opened, that would require calling Rollup somewhere during the dialog opening process.
roc and I aren't the right people to triage the blocking1.9? flag here. Not sure how to fix that...

Is this still a problem and is it Mac specific? Popups should be rolled up whenever a new window is focused.
