[Bug 123448] New: The "Import DBase files" dialog opens behind explorer window when double clicking on DBF file

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123448

            Bug ID: 123448
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: The "Import DBase files" dialog opens behind explorer
                    window when double clicking on DBF file
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.0.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: open-import
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: fredrikhall74@gmail.com
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

When opening a DBase file by double clicking a DBF in windows explorer, a
dialog title "Import DBase files" is opened, wherein you select the character
set of the file. The user expects this dialog to popup in front of windows
explorer, but often it does not open "in front" and might thus not be visible
to the user.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Ensure OpenOffice Calc is not running.
2. Double click a DBF file in windows explorer.
3. The "Import DBase files" dialog is shown. SOMETIMES it appears in front of
the windows explorer, but often it opens behind it.
4. Maximze the OpenOffice Calc window.
5. Open a second DBF by double clicking on it. This will unvariably open the
"Import DBase files" somewhere where it's not seen.

I was able to duplicate this issue on win 7 using Open Office 4.0.1.  I opened
a DB about 30 times while Calc wasn't running and the import window always
appear at the forefront.  However if Calc is already running the windows always
appears behind windows explorer, but in front of the open Calc window.
