Window layering screwed / Problems with (ask and answer) dialogs

[Paul Dupuis]

FYI

I just created a test stack with a check box (on mouseUp set the 
raiseWindows to the hilite of me end mouseUp) and a button (on mouseUp 
answer "Answer Dialog" end mouseUp)
and tried it under LC 9.6.12 and 9.6.13 in the IDE on Windows 11 (latest 
version/updates) on an HP Pavilion (i7, 16GB RAM) and the Answer dialog 
remained on top regardless of the raiseWindows setting in both version 
of LC.

I think any recipe for an error must be a bit more than just whether 
raiseWindows is true or not.
