Thanks Opal! Disabling the Compositor definitely fixes this issue.

Oh that's interesting, I found that disabling the compositor (Menu>System
Tools>Window Manager Tweaks>Compositor) solves the problem for me and also for
somebody else on the github tracker entry.
I can't find the 'always on visible workspaces' settings, but I also lost the
tray icon for the Qubes VM Manager somehow.

I found that this happened when I had the Qubes VM Manager set to appear on all
desktops ("Always on Visible Worksace"). When I stopped that, it stopped the
problem. Tried this 5 or 6 times on 2 different machines. Running v.3.2 with
and without Feb. updates; no difference.
