Bug Description

Here i will us specific applications as an example, but i have checked with others as well. Using specific ones for clarity.

To replicate:

Open a file manager
Start a video in VLC
Set "Always on top" on VLC window
Observe that you can continue browsing files in the file manager, and the VLC window will remain on top of the file manager
Press delete on any file
The dialog box to confirm the deletion will open

What happens:

VLC window will go below the file manager window, and will stay below even after the dialog will go away

What i expect to happen:

Dialog should go over the VLC window, but the file manager should not go over it.

alternatively if that isn't possible

VLC window should become visible again as soon as the dialog gets dismissed.
