Expected behavior:

When I return to IntelliJ, the popup should be again in front of the window, not in the back.

Actual behavior:

Hello,
This is a bug related to IntelliJ, installed on Ubuntu.

How it currently works
When I open a popup window (e.g. "Create a branch" or "Search"), if I move to another application (with that popup still being open!) then I return to IntelliJ, the popup remains somewhere in the background. Because of that, I cannot do any actions in IntelliJ.

Sometimes the popup comes back to front, but I couldn't figure out what's the sequence of keyboard strokes / mouse movements that brings it back. Minimizing the windows sometimes works and I can see the popup, but not always.
