Description

When using a field on a modal window that shows a pop-up window, like a time picker, when clicking outside of the pop-up window but over the modal window, mousedown/click events are not propagated. Clicks outside of the modal window are propagated.

This is due to Wicket.Event.stop(event) being called on mousedown on the w_content_1 component. Removal of this leads to the Drag javascript being executed which itself calls Wicket.Event.stop(event), disabling this then propagates the event which leads to the pop-up window being closed but causes any field on the modalwindow to get focus.

I have a quickstart that demonstrates the modalwindow behavior vs that on a page. You will see that launching the modal window and clicking on the time component opens the pop-up window. However, you can only get this to close when clicking outside of the modal window. The same component has been put on the main page as a comparison which does close when clicking outside of the pop-up window.
