Note that if one opens About dialog (including from Start Center), it doesn't prevent opening documents behind it. Possibly worth looking which is different in their implementations.
Modal or not has been discussed in bug 127533 (with some other aspects around this topic in different tickets, eg. bug 127946) and it should be solved in master. Please verify.

Anyway, it's a duplicate of bug 127533. I'm unsure that these are the same (but of course, making it non-modal would also solve this): About box is *modal*, too (at least from UI PoV), but it still doesn't prevent opening files in background.
