Bug Description

when switching between opened windows, I have to wait for 5-10 to pass before I can get a response from the window.
the way reproduce it is not well define yet :
here is how I manage to reproduce it :

1 - have at least two windows opened , but for better results have at least 3, all not maximized . ( see the pic attached)
2- minimize one of the windows and restore it.
3- now try to change the focused window to another one only with the mouse by try to clicked on the window behind another one. From now you should have noticed the bug I'm describing right now.

Note: in the attached pic, Chromium browser is maximised but I can not give it the focused by clicking on it. for that task I have to alt-tab it .
