Re: drawer attached to modal window is unresponsive

I believe a drawer is actually treated as a separate window, which 
probably confuses things when attached to a window that is modal. I'm 
not sure why the tableview scrolls, but this would explain why the 
other controls aren't accessible.

Perhaps you could move the drawer contents into an area in the modal 
window, which is only shown when a disclosure triangle thingy is 
clicked.
