If this happens on MS Windows and the dialogs are modal,
a workaround is to make the parent dialog temporarily
non-modal for the time the child dialog is displayed.
However, it's not so easy to do this for the selectors as
they do not provide any interface regarding the child
dialogs.

More likely elsewhere, I encountered it with various kinds
of modal dialogs, e.g. child message dialogs and my own
subdialogs.  If you can create a minimal example and the
bug has not been reported yet, then please report.
