DB unlock dialog is not displayed on main screen  #10328

Open

Description

Overview

if the keepassxc main window is on another virtual screen and the DB is locked, pressing the global autotype shortcut does not display the DB unlock dialog on the current screen but on that of the keepassxc main window.

This is basically the same error as #338 but with the DB unlock dialog instead of autotype dialog.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start keepassxc, load a database and lock it.
  2. Switch to another virtual desktop, and press the global autotype shortcut

Expected Behavior

DB unlock dialog displays on current screen.

Actual Behavior

The DB unlock dialog does not appear on the current screen, but on that of the keepassxc main window.

Context

KeePassXC - 2.7.4+dfsg.1-2 (Debian package)
Revision: ?

Operating System: Debian Linux 12
Desktop Env: XFCE 4.18
Windowing System: X11

I aned a patch that fixes the error for me. Basically, I used the same window flags as the autotype dialog and made sure the parent dialog is null when constructing DatabaseOpenDialog.
But I had to disable a unit test, so the patch might not be the correct way to fix this for everyone. I do not have enough knowledge with Qt to look into the failing test, so I added the patch here as a starting point.
