Problem/Motivation

When using CKeditor in a jQuery UI dialog with the modal option set as TRUE, it is not possible to CKeditor native dialogs. The text fields within the modal dialog are not clickable.

Proposed resolution

Extend the dialog by using the jQuery UI native widget factory feature. By the way, jQuery UI itself uses exactly the same example for demonstration purposes of extending _allowInteraction( event ) method, see https://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#method-_allowInteraction:

Modal dialogs do not allow users to interact with elements behind the dialog. This can be problematic for elements that are not children of the dialog, but are absolutely positioned to appear as though they are. The _allowInteraction() method determines whether the user should be allowed to interact with a given target element; therefore, it can be used to whitelist elements that are not children of the dialog but you want users to be able to use.
