One could also implement the modal behavior using
this.initModality(Modality.WINDOW_MODAL);
this.initOwner(stageManager.getMainStage());
instead of this.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
In this case, this issue disappears but the modal stage only blocks the main stage. You can still access other views if they were opened before e.g. DotView.

This issue also appears for all other modal stages.
It seems to be a JavaFX bug

I'm not sure what exactly is happening here, but it has something to do with the modelchecking stage being modal. (If I make it non-modal, the issue disappears.)
I don't know if this is something we can fix - our code simply calls .hide() on the stage, and that is enough to cause the issue. Maybe it's a JavaFX bug, or maybe we have a listener somewhere else in our code that causes this.
When model checking finds a counter example and the Graph visualisation (Dot) view was open it suddenly pops (unexpectedly) in front, rather than keeping the windows as they are.
