Description

Hi all,
I try to read in text using

year = sg.popup_get_text('Please enter the year as (e.g. 2025)')

However, the popup window seems to stay hidden behind my main window (which contains plots etc.) Is there any way to avoid this issue?

Thanks, Uli

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with sg.popup_get_text('Please enter the year as (e.g. 2025)') while a main window containing plots is open. Read the popup_get_text and main-window behavior documented or implemented in the project, then verify that the input popup appears above the main window and remains usable.
