Comment (by bitigchi):
Modal dialogs should be used when the user is expected to execute a single
action. The reason to open the FilePanel is to either open or save a file.
Having it non-modal may cause data loss and unexpected behaviours via
allowing changes to the parent window. Non-modal open/save panels also
increase bug vector significantly as seen in bug #17466, requiring
handling special edge cases in code.
