Ian and all. This is a bug. VO should inform you of dialogs that are obscuring the screen. Even if it doesn't effect your usage. I have noticed when the dialog is present, I hear strange outputs when navigating the desktop. After checking the presence of these floating windows. The issue generally goes away.
