Can you clarify "Try to use a panel"? If I set focus stealing to high, interacting with panel items seem to work just fine.
Comment 2 Avamander 2020-10-05 22:26:43 UTC 
It's literally that. Nothing that the panel does that requires displaying over an existing window works. Be it volume control, network interfaces, application launcher or even window previews.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-10-06 15:38:13 UTC 
How odd. Still can't reproduce.
Comment 4 Avamander 2020-10-06 15:53:18 UTC 
You can see how I'm trying to click on the application launcher icon here with Focus stealing prevention set to high: https://youtu.be/ECSNlyhEwG0
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-10-06 15:57:15 UTC 
Thanks. I believe you, I just don't know how to make it happen for myself so I can figure out what's going wrong. :(
Comment 6 Avamander 2020-10-06 16:01:36 UTC 
The window visible is chromium snap, maybe that makes a difference?
Comment 7 Vlad Zahorodnii 2020-10-08 06:14:24 UTC 
Kickoff most likely receives an unexpected FocusOut event, which in its turn forces the application launcher to close itself. Similar to Nate, I cannot reproduce the bug myself.
