Dragging the top bar shows desktop icons above app window

[Islam]

Sometimes when slowly double clicking the top bar while an app window is maximized, the desktop icons appear above the app and disappears as shown in the attached screen-cast.

I also believe that app windows should not be handled from the top bar, like you shouldn't grab it to restore from being maximized; this should should be effective from the app window title bar only!

I've noticed this in the past. It might be because DING had to use a maximized window on Wayland:

and so it also gets maximize/unmaximize animations if you drag the top bar.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I thought DING was working on changing the window type to DESKTOP because of:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3108

If we could use the DESKTOP type on Wayland then it would avoid this bug, but it looks like it's not done yet:
