A video showing animation and blur not working on all workspaces but the one FL Studio was opened in.

SUMMARY
Whenever I open FL Studio in KDE Plasma it disables animations and blur in all workspaces but the one FL Studio is in until I restart KWin or logout and log back in. I suspect this is a composting issue as this happens on X11 and Wayland. All other Wine applications work with no issues and FL Studio doesn't seem to be disabling compositing when I looked through xprop. I have found a workaround by running a nested Plasma session to run FL Studio but I have issues with input when I do that. Thanks in advanced for looking at my bug report.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install FL Studio 24 through Wine
2. Open Fl Studio
3. Click on FL Studio (window focus)
4. Switch to a different workspace

OBSERVED RESULT
Animations and blur are gone from all workspaces except the one FL Studio was opened in.

EXPECTED RESULT
Animations and blur keep working across all workspaces.

After further testing it seems the issue doesn't happen when using Wine's native Wayland driver but happens on Wine's X11 driver, and XWayland by extension.
