SUMMARY System unusable due to a bug in windows manager. Sorry for a long description but it's super weird. STEPS TO REPRODUCE unknown, happens seemingly randomly after some time OBSERVED RESULT Everything inside windows which are on top seems to work correctly, but system is unusable because clicking on a window or switching in other way doesn't bring it to front, even though it gains focus. Also windows cannot be moved or resized. If a window has focus and happens to be on top, everything works well. Starting a new app brings it to front correctly, but as soon it goes under other window it cannot be used anymore. However, only one of windows receive keyboard events if it has focus. For example, if I have three windows A, B, C which happen to be on top and the bug happens when A has a focus, then if I click on window B or C then it visually gains focus (is highlighted) but keyboard doesn't work. However after switching back to A keyboard works. Logging out doesn't help, I have to reboot each time. EXPECTED RESULT Can switch between windows, resize and move them.
