Open dialog appears behind the Fritzing window

When I press "Files -> Open.." the open dialog appears behind the Fritzing window instead of in front of it.

What environment are you running? I saw that on Fedora 27, but on Fedora 29 the dialog opened on top. I think it is an issue with the host environment, not the application.

I was running Arch Linux. I just tested on Fedora 29 too and the dialog opened on top.

I wonder how can this be an issue with the host environment when Fritzing is flatpak'ed? Is it because the gtk file portal I had installed is out of date maybe?

Yes, it's likely to be caused by host environment, specifically xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. App inside the sandbox talks to the portal over dbus to explicitly gain access to host files and other features, so the filepicker window opens "outside" the sandbox.
