Bug: Display of modals does not prevent movement of a selected text-box on main document #29

Description

When editing a free-floating text box (i.e. not the title, composer, or type of a tune), it is still possible to click-and-drag to move the text box in the main document. I've noticed this also occurs when a text box is selected and a different modal (for instance, export-to-PDF) is launched.

This occurs regardless of where on-screen the action occurs; I first noticed it when highlighting part of the "text" field in the modal. No other parts of the main screen appear to be interactable when the modal is up; maybe the text box is still "selected" even if the modal is displayed?

I have reproduced and screen-recorded the bug. You can see the coordinates of the box changing as the mouse pointer is moved (even when the text is "behind" the modal).
(Recorded on Firefox on macOS Sequoia 15.6 although I have observed this on Google Chrome on WIndows 11 as well)
