miniature shadow dialog when showing Delphi modal dialogs

I have problems with every (!) exe which I compile with Delphi. Tested with Delphi 3 to Delphi 2007. It seems to be a problem with OSX-like window decoration of window forms. Decorated dialogs have the problem, if decoration is switched off in CrossOver (then windows programs look really like ugly ms windows programs....) its gone and everything is fine.

To the problem: its only with modal (!) dialogs. When showing modal dialogs a little miniature "shadow dialog" is additionally shown. When closing the modal dialog, the miniature "shadow dialog" is still there. Its a "real dialog" - can be moved around, but cannot be closed. This miniature "shadow dialog" also prevents the modal dialog to get the focus when it is shown - another unexpected behavior. Interesting: all non-modal dialogs are show without this additional miniature "shadow dialog", as described only with modal dialogs.

I wonder if EVERY delphi program do have this behavior - even a little demo project show the miniature "shadow dialog" for modal dialogs. I can also post a download URL for a little test exe, which demonstrates the behavior.


OSX 10.7.3 with CrossOver 11.0.3 on a MacBook Air with Intel 3000 graphics card.
