[Bug]: If you want to see or edit a dataset, you loose focus in the GUI #5320

What happened?

NOTE: this occurs on RHEL8 Wayland and X11 setups. I didn't test on Windows yet.

If you see a dataset arrow in a pipeline unit test, you get the "Dataset Location" dialog.
If you then edit the specified dataset and use the view or edit buttons, the dialog that pops up no longer has focus.
You can't click on any buttons. The only way to get out of this situation is to find the dataset window and close it.
Note that this doesn't happen if you edit the dataset via the metadata perspective. This leads me to believe that the window parenting is lost somewhere along the line.
