Description

  1. Open DrRacket, then create a new window.
  2. Put unsaved changes in both windows.
  3. Move one window to another workspace
  4. Choose File|Quit in the newer window
  5. Note that the Drracket is now frozen, because there's a modal dialog on the other window, which you don't see.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in DrRacket on Linux using two windows, unsaved changes, separate workspaces, and File|Quit in the newer window. Trace the save-file dialog behavior when the other window is on another workspace; done means quitting no longer freezes DrRacket or leaves the modal dialog inaccessible.
