[Lazarus] Question about modal forms behaviour under windows

[Denis Kozlov]

There is a long standing bug report about this particular topic:
0026463: Application minimize not working with modal forms
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26463

*Issue 1*: Application.Minimize should always minimize the entire 
application, including modal forms. Currently, the modal form will get 
squashed into a corner while other disabled windows will keeping hanging 
on the desktop.

*Issue 2*: Minimizing a modal form, provided that it has the minimize 
button enabled, should call Application.Minimize with the effect as 
described in Issue 1.

This is my opinion (as a software developer with 15 years experience).
