drop down menu appears on another workspace

[Valentin Stoykov]

I am using Selenium webdriver to open a drop down menu in Firefox.

When I manually open the drop down menu the bug does not appear. Because the drop down menu is being closed when I switch between workspaces.

But when I switch to another workspace when the drop down menu is opened by Selenium webdriver it is appearing on the other workspace and I can interact with it.

Screenshot is attached.

This suggests the menu is an override-redirect X11 window, so perhaps appearing on all workspaces is 'correct' and it is a bug in Firefox.

Please also try logging into a Wayland session.
