I know that Delphi behaves the same but then we need some FormStyle
that makes the window stay only on top of its application windows and
not system-wide.
No it does not, delphi's 2007 menu designer never stays on top outside
the application it self and never looses its position regardless of
how many times you change between delphi and other applications.
I was talking about FormStyle=fsStayOnTop and not about delphi's 2007
menu designer. fsStayOnTop in Delphi behaves the same as in Lazarus - it
tries to keep the form above all forms system-wide.

E.g. I am writing now this email. I open Menu designer in Lazarus and
then switch back to my email program - the email program is covered
by the menu designer from Lazarus, which is absolutely not OK in my

Bad :( The PopupMode should solve the problem.
No, pmauto will autoselect the applications main form as popupparent
you need to set the formdesigner as the popupparrent for all the
component designers (menu, stringgrid, collections etc). This way
double clicking an event will hide the designers which will be back on
top when you focus the form designer.
No, you are wrong. pmAuto selects the active form as PopupParent not
application's main form. See
TPopupMode = (
pmNone, // default behavior - popup to mainform/taskbar window
pmAuto, *// popup to active form and same as pmNone if no active form*
pmExplicit // popup to PopupParent and same as pmNone if not exists
);
or the widgetset code, e.g. for Qt:
procedure TQtMainWindow.UpdateParent;
var
NewParent: QWidgetH;
begin
NewParent := nil;
case FPopupMode of
pmNone: ;// no popup parent
pmAuto:
// active form is parent
if Screen.ActiveForm <> nil then
NewParent := TQtWidget(Screen.ActiveForm.Handle).Widget;
//...

On Win32 it works well with PopupMode=pmAuto. On my testing
Linux/Gtk2 system it works the same with pmNode and pmAuto - it
correctly shows the "Checkmark and radioitem properties" dialog above
Menu designer.
What OS/WS are you seeing the problem?
Yes and no depends heavily which is the main form and how it changes
between versions.
Again, you are wrong. pmAuto doesn't have anything to do with the main form.
