Stay on top is needed because the a menu designer is typically a

invariably consists of:
1. Creating a menu (or sub menu) item using the menu editor dialog
2. Then editing the menu item properties using the object inspector
(setting the name/caption, possibly creating a click event stub)
3. Go back to step 1
In the undocked IDE there is absolutely no problem when the menu
designer is not stay-on-top. You can switch from OI to ME there and back
without any problems.
-> Stay on top is not needed. IMO on the contrary it is bad.

Correct, and this becomes more important when AnchorDocking is used.
Some other windows, namely Actionlisteditor and Collectionitem have
the same issue.
Forum user Soner A. had a valid point here:

I was already planning to check the behavior of those windows and ask
for opinions.
I added PopupParent to Actionlisteditor and Collectionitem as well. But
only in the docked IDE. r51051, r51052.
