Actually, on reflection, if this is something new in 10.2, it gets my vote. I've often been frustrated by large and/or immovable application-modal dialogs

There is nothing like "immovable application-modal dialog", unless the programmer explicitly takes pains to implement such a nonsense OS9ish brute. No 10.2 news -- it was so from 1986 or so ;)

I've just been and fetched my best brain from the cupboard under the stairs. I think the other one was coughing up an outdated gripe about the behaviour of some OS 9 apps...

OTOH, truth is that sheets which are window-modal *are* immovable relatively to the window, and thus they don't allow to check the window contents (their slight transparency sometimes helps, but often does not). Is that perchance what you meant?

That too. I'm never using that brain again.

And to Matt: Sorry, app-modals do behave exactly as you originally described (except for closing).
