gEDA-bug: [Bug 698866] Re: Make the single attribute dialog non-blocking

[KaiMartin <698866@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This non-feature just fell on my feet again. It combines in an
unfortunate way with the fact that the attribute editor window does not
come to front when the main window of gschem receives focus. It is
possible to have the blocking editor hidden somewhere beneath windows of
other applications. In this situation, it is extremely unfortunate, that
the attribute editor does not show in the window list. Thus, I end up
closing other applications to expose the attribute editor.

IMHO, such misbehaviour should not be tagged "wishlist" but "low".

Title:
  Make the single attribute dialog non-blocking

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently, the single attribute editor is modal. 
  Proposal: 
     Let the single attribute editor behave like the multi attribute editor. That is:
     1) non blocking
     2) apply changes when the mouse curso leaves the dialog
     3) always refer to the currently selected object.
