Any workaround to make a modal stack behave like we were used to?

Indeed - it is strange - it also happens 'dynamically'... If you 
temporarily run Spotify whilst LC is running and has a modal open, you 
will see the effect for as long as Spotify is running.

It appears that Spotify is just a Chromium based app (i.e. it is 
actually just a website built into an app); I wonder if they have put 
some sort of 'hack' in to deal with limitations of Chromium.

In any case, something LC is doing with its own modals is interacting 
badly - system modals (e.g. answer file etc.) seem to be unaffected; as 
are a couple of other apps I tried.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
