P: Dialog for Export Settings gets trapped behind Photoshop windows

(for Mac) I have lost about 12 hours of work so far because of a bug in Photoshop for video. If you go to Export > Render Frames, then open the options menu (for export settings), this menu can easily be trapped behind the Photoshop-windows. If this happen, Photoshop will stand-by (with the rotating circle icon), and thereby freeze, waiting for me to click OK or Cancel on the options-menu, but this menu is hidden by Photoshop. If I force quit for Photoshop, the Options-menu is accessible as soon as Photoshop shuts down, which is too late.

Thanks. I'll have someone on the team try to reproduce it. Do you know off hand if this worked in 10.6.x for you and is a new behavior since upgrading to Lion?

I think that the dialog box trapped in the background has to be selected first before this works, and then Photoshop is in this state, Photoshop itself is selected.

Nope, that has been my immediate solution to the problem, but it doesn't work.

If you get in this state, does the [esc] key close the hidden dialog?
