Rename Tab pop-window window is not visible but takes over mouse focus

I have a chartbook with a dozen plus tabs.
The charts are maximized and I switch tabs to see different charts.
All charts are in the main SC window.
The main SC window is maximized.

When I right click on a tab and select the rename option, I lose mouse control. The chart still updates.

I figured out that when you press rename there is a window which pops up where you can update the name.

However the window seems to get hidden when SC is in full-screen.

So the focus is stuck on the window where we rename the chart, but that window is not visible.

I had to kill the SC process a few times before I figured out what was happening; running the main window in the non-maximized mode is how I identified the focus issue.

Additional context:

The tab whose name I was trying to change was the rightmost, and the chartbook had more tabs than what could be visible (it had tab scroll arrows).

I do not face the issue when working with a Chartbook with three chart tabs.

We will check on this but we are not able to reproduce this even with the conditions described in post #2:

I have a workaround so it is not very urgent.

It was just that it was a weird situation to see the charts updating, the mouse moving but not knowing what to do since the window was not visible.
