Bug Description
When opening a form above the main UI Window (or any other window related to OpenShot) and click on the window under it, it will lose focus. This shouldn't be the case.
E.g.
Select menu "Edit > Preferences". The "OpenShot Preferences" form will popup. If you click to the window under it, Preferences window will lose focus. The selected window isn't usable, no control works. In order to return to the Preferences form you should press "Alt+Tab" or select it from the task bar, witch in my opinion should be there either.
It also happens when an error message pops.
I don't know if this is a limitation of Python.

Made the Preferences Window non-modal. Any OpenShot generated error messages still block the app until the user acknowledges them.
