I can reproduce that behavior also with version 0.46.16-alpha.  
I would never have found this bug, because I would hardly have wanted to go to the preferences via shotcut when I had a modal window open.

My teacher once said: press every random button on the keyboard, click randomly everywhere you can. if your app breaks, it’s a bug. So I wanted to see if the QA of anytype improved lately 😃
