Did print dialog windows become modal in E10 (or E9) ?

In V8, you could have a print window dialog open, but still select other windows.  Now it seems that you have to close the dialog.  :(

four... years... later....

I didn't see this in 10.2.100 but my 10.2.700 environment exhibits this behaviour... I'm gonna have to lock up the torches and pitchforks before by users find out...

It seems to vary by form.  Or maybe more so by launch method.  

Like if you you are in AR Invoice Entry and you use Action -> Invoice -> Print Invoice, the "Print Invoice: 12345" window that pops up is not modal. You can switch to any other window and go about your business.

But if you use Action -> Group -> Print Invoices, the "Print Group: 2102a" window that appears is.
 
Turning on developer mode, and the "Process Calling" dialog window that pops up is identical, regrdless of whether printing a selected invoice or the group:
