Debugging modeless window (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

I'm debugging an app which has a modeless window running. When the Debugger comes up it places itself behind the modeless window. The modeless window cannot be moved, and hides what I want to see in the Debugger.
I can move the modeless window to one side of the screen before the Debugger comes up, and size/move the Debugger to the other side. But the screen becomes very cramped.
Any suggestions? Is there something that will allow me to Alt+Tab between the two windows? Is there something that will allow me to move the modeless window while the Debugger is running?

Oystein,
I've seen situations where the debugger appears in the background but it has always been able to come fully into the foreground. Your situation is a new one to me.
I don't think this will help much but you can try to release the Model flag for the debugger (Shift-F11 or Window-]System Model menu). This will allow Alt-Tab to work but it might not push the modeless dialog behind the debugger.
Other suggestions:
1. Push the modeless dialog so far down that the title bar is barely visible above the bottom of your screen. This assumes, of course, that you don't need to see the content on the screen while debugging.
2. Temporarily add code to make the window invisible.
3. Run at a much higher video resolution.
4. Configure your system for two monitors and put the debugger on the second one (I know, a bit extreme for your situation but it is is suggestion. )
