This broke yesterday. Some elements appear above the modal overlay, the modal overlay has Z axis On; the Logs button has the Z axis Off, same with the table.

I’m seeing the same thing, especially with the sidebars

I was able to fix it by selecting “Dialog” in the Layout Tree, and turning the Z Index on. It must be acting as a parent to the overlay because without it turned on it doesn’t matter what the overlay settings are
