Popup loses mouse capture when application covered

Yes, that's what I tried to do in the first place.  In my application, I
dismiss the popup window programmatically, not with a button.  It seemed as
if dialogs were designed to be used only with buttons, but perhaps I missed
something.  For example, MessageDialog would be perfect, but it doesn't
seem possible to create one without a button.

Even if I did not implement the popup window the right way, doesn't it seem
strange that the mouse capture changes when some other application covers
the application?
