Public bug reported:

Some dialogs (e.g. UbuntuClickDialog) are modal but set no parent. This
leads window managers like unity to not do correct stacking. The dialog
can pop under the main window and become invsible (except for showing up
in the taskbar). The main window is not responding anymore (of course)
because of the modal dialog. The impression for the user is that the app
has crashed/become unresponsive.

Looking at the code it seems a bunch of QMessageBox::warning(0,...)
instead of Core::ICore::mainWindow() is used (but only some, not all). I
don't know if there is a reason for this, I changed it to use the main
window as parent in the attached branch and did a testbuild that works
for me.
