Does it *sometimes* not work, or *always* not work?

Do the apps for which it doesn't work have multiple windows open?

Can you run `journalctl -f` and see if something it printed there when you try to minimnize an app by clicking on it and it doesn't work?

Can you plug in an external mouse (or a different mouse) to see if that helps?

Do you have an NVIDIA GPU?

It sometimes doesn't work, it seems to work again after interacting with other windows/screens.

I don't recall having multiple windows open.

I will see if journalctl has some logs and test another device next time I can repro.

I have an Nvidia gpu but this happens on wayland using the integrated Intel igpu

It happened today with a new mouse. Slack was open and it only had one window. I didn't see anything useful in the logs

Ok, thanks. Since it's also happening elsewhere, let's focus on Bug 478374 for now.
