Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

Mac OS 10.14.5, qBittorent 4.1.7

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version

(type here)

What is the problem

The add new torrent dialogue doesn't work since upgrading to 4.1.7. The torrent info window pops under the main window and the "okay" button doesn't do anything when pushed. The "cancel" button is also inoperative. Reverting to 4.1.6 makes everything work again.

What is the expected behavior

A torrent should be added to the cue

Steps to reproduce

try to add a torrent via add magnet link button

Extra info(if any)

MacOS 10.13.6, qBittorent 4.1.7
I can add torrents with the 'add magnet link button', but because the torrent info window is behind the main window, I have to move the main window out of the way each time. This behaviour is new in version 4.1.7.

Maybe it's because of this github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent@ec13d195f8 (diff-d412c96473)

Behavior has changed with 4.1.8. Adding a download via the "add torrent link" button now causes the "retrieving metadata" window to pop under the main window. Moving the main window out of the way and clicking "ok" puts the download in the queue.

But that is very inconvenient, why was that done? You need the "retrieving metadata" window at that moment, so why put it under the main window? There is no logic in that...
