windows disappearing unless in Activities view

[Michał Sawicz]

It's happened to me twice after a recent update that I couldn't reach a window, even though it was visible in the Activities view and listed on the launcher.

The windows seemed to take focus, but couldn't be seen. Alt+Tab switching didn't help either.

@Daniel is it not what you just filed?

No that's a different bug.

Thank for the report and upstream. There has been no other mention of the issue so far so we decided to not target it as a rls bug for now, we should revisit if we get new reports though
