LR-BEHAV-TITLEBAR: a dialog leaves the integrated title bar undimmed

On macOS the window buttons are drawn by the OS above our content, so a backdrop over the
top bar left them bright on a dimmed bar. As under a sheet, the backdrop now stops below the
bar, the bar keeps its color with its controls inactive, a click on it is not a click outside
the dialog, and its empty space still moves the window.

 | 2026-10-22 | minor | LR-CROP-AUTO: Auto straighten turns by at most 10° and only on at least 3 agreeing lines, and says when it finds nothing to level by; measured on 68 photos straightened by hand and 300 left as shot, unwanted turns of more than 1° fell from 79 to 19 of the 300. Downgraded ✅ → 🟡: it still leaves most tilted photos alone |
 | 2026-10-23 | patch | LRC-LIB-FILTERBAR: showing an album (`library.source`) while the filter holds an album drops the filter's album, as showing a library folder already dropped its folder filter; before, the old album stayed in the filter unseen (the filter bar has no album chip) and narrowed the next source such as All Photos; the row's note says so; status unchanged (✅) |
+| 2026-10-29 | patch | LR-BEHAV-TITLEBAR: a dialog's backdrop leaves the integrated title bar undimmed, as a macOS sheet does (the bar's controls stay inactive, a click on it is not a click outside the dialog, dragging its empty space still moves the window); status unchanged (🟡) |

+### A dialog no longer dims the macOS title bar
+- On macOS the top bar is the window's title bar, and the window buttons drawn over it stayed bright while a dialog dimmed
+  the bar under them. As under a macOS sheet, the dialog's backdrop now leaves the bar alone: its buttons are inactive, a
+  click on it does not close the dialog, and dragging its empty space still moves the window. Windows, Linux and full
+  screen are unchanged.
