Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the Windows save flow with an existing file, then locate the implementation of the overwrite-warning dialog and investigate why it opens behind the foreground window. Done means the warning reliably appears in the foreground on Windows.

Description

Hello,

I'm using rfd to handle opening and saving files and one of my users encountered an issue on Windows
When trying to save a file to an existing one, and the warning dialog did not appear in foreground but in background.

It seems to have appeared in a recent update of rfd.
