The layering of widgets which have a native layer (of which the browser 
widget is one) *should* reflect the layer number. e.g.

    layer 1 - field (lc)
    layer 2 - browser 1 (native layer)
    layer 3 - button (lc)
    layer 4 - browser 2 (native layer)

should be reflected as:

    field (bottom)
    button
    browser 1
    browser 2 (top)

So if this isn't the case, then it deserves a bug report :)

Of course, browser views on android/iOS might be 'special' and causing 
the problem themselves but assuming that isn't the case, it should work 
as you described...

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
