[2.18] Stay-on-top covers popup windows
 
Small but annoying problem (XP-computer)

- Popup windows like color selection and Yes/No confirmation popups stay behind windows that are marked "stay on top"
- When switching to other programmes like word, Firefox or others the stay on top window still remeins on top.

This has been a long-time Windows bug with Delphi applications. Windows cannot handle multiple "stay on top" windows, and the popup dialogs are also marked as "stay on top". So Windows gets confused since only one window can be "on top" and the setting on your main windows gets priority over the dialogs. I'm hopeful that some changes made in Delphi 2007 will improve how this works once I get the next new version of CMUD converted to it.

This problem also exists in zMUD too, so it's nothing new.
