No.  I can't reproduce that.  It seems to make the previous frame sort
of a modal window - something I experience with Emacs only when asking a
‘yes-or-no-p’ question.

So we can consider my patch to frame.c the culprit for the misbehavior
you observe.  Or at least the "greater freedom" it provides.

It's possible that some of my settings or tools affect this.  That's why
it would have been interesting to hear a few more comments ...
