Switching desktop with the activity menu shows windows from the previous screen in the background
Hello,
I would like to report a bug for GDM. Steps to reproduce:
- Open a window on GDM
- Open the activity menu with the "Super" key
- Switch desktop with Pg down
- Press the "Super" key again to hide the activity menu
- Windows from the previous desktop are still shown (but cannot catch focus, which is confusing)
The bug has been present for quite some time. I believe it affects versions from 3.20 to latest at least.
I'm running GDM 3.32.2 on an up-to-date ArchLinux. GDM uses Wayland on an Intel integrated GPU (my computer is a Dell XPS 13 2-in-1). Both Wayland and XWayland windows seem affected. If I remember correctly, the bug was also present on my previous laptop (a Dell XPS 17 L701X) which used X on a nVidia GPU.
Many thanks in advance for your interest in this bug :-)
