Hi Gerard,

Well, Valentina users will not be affected by this at all.

Because if somebody use Valentina in RB Standard, he simply adds into
plugins folder dummy file with name "DisableRBDB". This disable RBDB support
in V4RB, and everything works fine.

If somebody use RB PRO then he simply do not see above issue also.

----
I report this glitch just because exists logical mistake in these 2 windows.
I have report this into FEEDBACK just only.

To resolve this, REAL should remove modal mode for Progress window, or show
msg window not as sub-window of PROJECT, but may be as another MODAL.
