Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)
Release: 20.04

all available updates installed at time of reporting

 every now and then when I open an Application, all (minimized) windows of other running applications appear on the screen and the interaction with them is impossible.

 neither the window control buttons nor the window content is reacting on mouse interaction - the whole window is in non-focus mode. only after clicking on the panel icon of said window to minimize and reopen an interaction is possible.

 i have no direct clue where to start further investigation, yet I would guess it be an bug in mutter/clutter, x.org or the nvidia-driver

 this is clearly a show stopper!

 i will try to see if this annoyance appears with wayland and/or noveau too, yet I'd appreciate any guidance in helping to fix this bug

this just now happened again after trying to edit this bug, after clicking on an element in the browser page; all windows (re)appeared in non-focus mode; by clicking on one of them it moves to the forefront of all non-focus windows, yet the focus stays on the current window
