Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a WindowedApplication that contains one or more Canvas objects. Also, declare a creationCompleted function.
2. In the creationComplete function, create a Window.
3. Add one of the Canvas objects to the newly-created window with addChild.
4. In the debugger, look at the stage.nativeWindow property of the Canvas.

Actual Results:
The stage is pointing at the first window the Canvas was added to, not the Window we moved the canvas to. This is a problem because PopupManager will use the stage to calculate the location of a displayed popup. It appears in the wrong location.

Expected Results:
Stage should reflect the new window the canvas was added to.

Workaround (if any):
Use ActionScript to create the Canvas and then add it to the desired window. If you use MXML the Canvas will be assigned to the 'main window' of the WindowedApplication.
