Description

Have anyone tried moving main window when GoTo search dialog is open? Well, I did today:
Windows - cannot move main window with GoTo open, it works like modal dialog.
Linux (Ubuntu 17.04 with Gnome Shell) - you can move main window and GoTo dialog moves with it.
macOS - you can move main window, but GoTo dialog stays in place.
Might be not a real issue, as each platform manages windows differently. I, personally, prefer the Linux variant, where you can move window to lookup something below it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the GoTo dialog behavior while moving the parent window on Windows, Ubuntu with GNOME Shell, and macOS. Before changing anything, clarify whether the target is Linux-style movement or another cross-platform behavior; done requires an agreed result that is verified on the affected platforms.
