Public bug reported:

When opening a form above the main UI Window (or any other window
related to OpenShot) and click on the window under it, it will lose
focus. This shouldn't be the case.

E.g.

Select menu "Edit  >  Preferences". The "OpenShot Preferences" form will
popup. If you click to the window under it, Preferences window will lose
focus. The selected window isn't usable, no control works. In order to
return to the Preferences form you should press "Alt+Tab" or select it
from the task bar, witch in my opinion should be there either.

It also happens when an error message pops.

I don't know if this is a limitation of Python.
