[Interest] Modeless dialog issue on Mac

[Calogero Mauceri]

Here "this" is a pointer to the parent dialog. I've tried with QMainWindow
too as a parent, but unfortunately the problem is still there, not sure if
that's another bug.
The only way I found for having the modeless dialog on top of its parent is
to create it with Qt::Tool flag.
That problem is only happening on Mac, it is properly working both on
Windows and Linux.
