Bug Description

When you print from Thunderbird the print dialog appears behind the main Thunderbird window. Of course, it should appear in the front of Thunderbird. You can reproduce it every time.
Mozilla developers say this window is a part of Ubuntu and NOT of Thunderbird.

(Also this window is NOT transalated to German fully - but for this I opened a separate bug already)

Just tested in a fully up-to-date Kubuntu 20.04 VM (amd64), and I cannot observe the problem. Printing an e-mail does pop up the print dialog in front of the thunderbird window.

Can you share the exact steps you're taking to reproduce the problem? Can you maybe attach a screencast demonstrating it?

Printing from a single email works correctly, but I print in the attached video from an email overview. Then the print dialog appears behind the Thunderbird.
