I can right click a panel-plugin and select about and then right click again and select properties to get two dialogs.

But if i try the other way around i cant get the about dialog if the properties dialog is already open.

I would think i should be able to open the about dialog regardless of the properties dialog being open or not.

If it is on purpose that the user should not be allowed to open the about dialog if the properties dialog is already open then i suggest making the menu item grey so that the user cant select it.

Which panel plugin does this happen with? I just tested with the power manager and it worked ok in both directions (first about, then properties and the other way round)

Try adding whiskermenu plugin 2.3.1 and genmon plugin 4.0.1.

With the dictonary plugin after i open the preferences dialog i cant even right click the icon on the plugin to try and open the about dialog. The context menu does not unfold. 0.8.2.
