I just realized Isengard broke something for me. I found Trac ticket #15960 which discusses this issue and seems to be still open. The context in that ticket (addons calling modal dialogs) doesn't seem applicable here.

In my case I have VideoOSD open. On the OSD I have various buttons, some of these have ActivateWindow. ActivateWindow(28) (video playlist) used to work (Helix) but now doesn't. As I leaned form searching, I had to do a Dialog.Close(VideoOSD) first. But other windows (for example OSDVideoSettings) will open. Is there some reason for this? Other "gotchas"? Or better maybe another look at 15960?

OSDVideoSettings is a dialog, videoplaylist isn't.
videoplaylist is a window and you can't open new window while a dialog is visible.
