Summary: Window snapping freezes the transparent red/orange background that is normally seen for only a short time when performing window snapping. To fix, open or restore focus to some other program, minimize that program, and return to the original program.

Reproduce:
(1) Open Firefox (in my case it opens maximized)
(2) Drag Firefox down by grabbing in the titlebar
(3) Drag Firefox back up to "snap maximize"
(4) Click the middle button on Firefox (maximize button)
(5) Drag Firefox up as if you wanted to "snap maximize"
(6) Release mouse when you are confident you have dragged the mouse up as far as it will go. Firefox cannot be interacted with. The transparent red/orange background is "frozen".
(7) To get rid of the red/orange background, open or restore focus to some other program, minimize that program, and return to Firefox.

Alternate Reproduce:
(1) Grab a window that is not "snap maximized"
(2) Drag the window up to "snap maximize" it
(3) The transparent red/orange background appears, and it is frozen
(4) See step #7 in the previous block.

This "Alternate" case is what I notice - the first set of steps was a way to get it to reproduce consistently. I don't actually work that way :-)

I saw this bug report, but it doesn't specifically mention what I've noticed.

Regarding a screenshot, taking one with mate-screenshot removes the red background before it can capture the picture. I tried with a camera but it doesn't really show up enough to see it.
