Steps to reproduce:

  1. open the "About NVDA" dialogue box.
  2. press NVDA+Ctrl+g to open the general settings dialogue or any other settings dialogue.

Expected result:
NVDA should either warn that multiple dialogue boxes are open, or at least allow the user to close the opened dialogue boxes.

Actual result
the settings dialogue box cannot be accessed by tab or closed by pressing enter, escape, or Alt+F4. Alt+Tab can only gain focus to the inaccessible setting dialogue and not the About NVDA dialogue. As far as I have tested, there is no way to close the dialogue boxes aside from restarting NVDA.
