Description

(also occurs on Linux, but you can't enter multiple O/S into Jira)

Doing
<mx:Window xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
type="

{NativeWindowType.UTILITY}

">
seems the obvious way to create an MXML based Window, but it doesn't appear as
a utility window (i.e. less window chrome) unless the type property is re-set after the
creation and before open() is called,
i.e.
var resultsWindow:HLPeopleResultsWindow = new HLPeopleResultsWindow();
resultsWindow.type=NativeWindowType.UTILITY;
resultsWindow.open();
