Zorin OS handles modal windows in a very weird way. The modal windows can't be moved independently of the parent window. Here is a demo video of the problem:
This is a problem that was bugging me since Zorin 15.3. I originally thought that this is an issue present in Gnome and it's like this across every Gnome based OS. However, after testing several other distros, I came to the conclusion that Zorin is the only Gnome desktop OS (that I know of) that implements this feature. I'm surprised that no one has ever complained about it.
This is how modals look like on basically every other distro:
I wonder if this was a deliberate choice or not. But regardless, this is something that annoyed me a lot as I couldn't move modal windows out of the way to read a label or something. It disrupted the flow of work and subsequently the productivity.
I will tag @zorink and @AZorin to bring this feedback to their attention.
WOW, that is a weird issue indeed. And now that I am testing SPOILER ALERT! Zorin OS 16 PRO on a dual core machine, we can be on the same page for once lol. Hopefully, the Zorin team knows what to do about it.
I'm not sure if that is the default Gnome setting. If I recall correctly, even in Fedora the Modals were not sticky.
But regardless, I don't see the point of the modals being sticky, except them being annoying and in the way. Zorin comes with a lot of Gnome optimizations right out of the box. I think this could be added to this list as well.
