Essentially the bug is that always on top does not entirely work. An example program you can try to use to replicate this bug is "Runelite" (https://github.com/runelite/runelite), I'm using the appimage. If you place a window border at under the application you can click through the game and resize the underlying application. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start game 2. Set always on top from "Right side panel wrench -> search for 'Runelite' -> enable 'Always on top'" 3. Place a window underneath the application (Note it does not seem to work with applications with custom borders such as steam) OBSERVED RESULT You can see that the window underneath is resizable, you click through the top window. EXPECTED RESULT That you can't resize the window when another is above it.

There may be some confusion here; "always on top" doesn't mean that windows lower in the stacking order aren't resizable. It just means that the window marked as "always on top" is never overlapped by another window going over it.

It seems to have disappeared after restart, but it's not that the lower stacking order shouldn't be resizable, but that you literally clicked through the window. The top window was not registering the clicks, sadly I do not have a video of this.
That's odd. What part of the window clicked through? An area that was clearly opaque, or an area around the edges, like in the shadow?

Never mind, I just figured out how to reproduce the issue, it has to do with multiple monitors. You need to move the window to the second screen and back.

I'll record a video.(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > That's odd. What part of the window clicked through?

Thanks, that;s helpful. Let's do some investigation. Can you try the following: - Unset "always on top" for that window and see if it still happens - Set "always on top for another window" and see if it still happens - Try to make it happen with another window that doesn't have "always on top" - Try all of the following on Wayland and see if it still happens

Does not seem to happen without always on top 2. It does not seem to happen with two always on top windows, I believe it's due to the fact that the lower one having to be moved offscreen. If you move the top one it does not seem to happen. 3. It seems to work with any program that does not have a custom window theme. Tested with firefox, thunderbird and discord that it works and that it does not work with steam. 4. I don't currently have a wayland machine, I'll try to set one up, I'll get back to you.
