Me, 4.7.1 on Linux.

...and I verified the solution I posted was what I
had to do to solve the problem in my case.

      I reversed the Qt::Dialog/Qt::Popup flags and the
      problem re-emerged; The original editor window closed
      when I opened the secondary window.

Perhaps you could override ::event on the primary window
and block the event which is telling it to close?
