Admin Menu: The admin submenu gets hidden behind the "Theme Details" modal

[Dharm1025]

When the "Theme Details" modal is active, the admin submenu gets hidden behind it. Based on a quick check, it seems the theme overlay (.theme-overlay .theme-backdrop) has a higher z-index than the submenu (#adminmenu .wp-submenu). This is the reason the submenu gets hidden behind the "Theme Details" modal.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to Appearance > Themes
2. Click on any theme to view its details. This will open the "Theme Details" modal to display information about the theme.
3. Try to navigate to another page by hovering the menu (eg: Settings > General)
4. Notice submenu is hidden behind the "Theme Details" modal

Expected Results

Submenu should be visible on hover to top-level menu.

Thank you
