clicks on stacked ui-dialog canvas pass below

Quick question on a minor irritation:  I am writing a little web app which splits its functionality over many free floating windows, all stackable ui-dialogs.  Most of these windows have scroll bars.  I notice that when two ui-dialogs overlap, then my mouse actions on the canvas of the top dialog impact on the scrollbars of the
dialog beneath (depending on mouse placement, of course).  I can put a stop to this by attaching .bind("mousedown",function() {return false;}); to each canvas, but feel a bit queasy about this.  Anyone's come across this before and perhaps found a more subtle (CSS?) way to stop this?

Thanks.
