The same bug affects me on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS when debugging C++ applications using CLion. The fact that the popup can remain hidden in the background but it blocks mouse clicks against all applications (including the foreground ones) is a huge issue, and there is no known workaround for the problem. How do core devs use their own system for application development?

Strangely the timeout between two popups is not constant, sometimes it happens every 5 seconds and sometimes the application being debugged can stay in the background for longer periods without causing this issue.

A similar issue has been reported against Fedora a long time ago and it did not get any attention there either: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981149

Please put this on high priority.
