Lazarus Dialog modal windows go behind regular windows and won't come on top

Description:

Problem is that, when ever I open a dialog windows of Lazarus - be it open file, options, form list (Shift+F12) - that window shows up and instantly refresh itself and go behind all open Lazarus windows having focus on itself. If current windows allows, I can drag that modal window. I can use keys, or click its visible parts. Everything works. Except it stays behind no matter what.

I also cannot select a design form because Lazarus dialog is a modal one.

With these explanations, now I hope it is easier to understand it using attached pictures.

Steps to reproduce:

Simply open Help->About and see if it comes on top of design forum or editor window. It will get focus, but won't come on top.

Additional information:

Discussed in here. Also some solution is provided by GetMem in the thread.
