DialogFragment appears on top of ActionBar

I have an ActionBar in my app (via the v7 compat library) and it works just fine. When I bring up a DialogFragment though, the overflow menu appears behind the dialog. I was expecting the ActionBar to always be on top. Needless to say, this disrupts input into the ActionBar.

Here's the code to display the fragment - pretty standard stuff

CChildDialog dlg = createDialog(id,args);
                if (dlg != null) {
                    // now display the fragment!

                    // DialogFragment.show() will take care of adding the fragment
                    // in a transaction.  We also want to remove any currently showing
                    // dialog, so make our own transaction and take care of that here.
                    FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
                    Fragment prev = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(dialogTag);
                    if (prev != null) {
                        ft.remove(prev);
                    }
                    // Create and show the dialog.
                    dlg.show(ft, dialogTag);
                }

My dialog class doesn't do anything weird other than enable background clicks like so:

@Override
    public void onViewCreated(final View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

        Window dialogWindow = getDialog().getWindow();

        // Make the dialog possible to be outside touch
        dialogWindow.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL);
        dialogWindow.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
    }

On the contrary, your dialog class does very weird things. You turn off the flags that make it a dialog.

The dialog appears on top of your activity (which includes your actionbar) therefore it is normal that a menu in your actionbar appears behind the dialog window. You have turned off the modal nature of the dialog otherwise you would not be able to activate the menu.
