Public bug reported: It's happening to me in GNOME. I don't know if it would occur in KDE, Xfce, Budgie...
When I click in a dropdown menu (example that do this: Sound device picker in gnome-control-center, example that don't: the hamburger menu in nautilus/terminal) the minimized windows un-minimize and appear behind the focused window, although you can't control most of the window (maximize and close works, clicking the icon in dock makes it usable). Steps to reproduce: 1. Minimize all windows 2. Open gnome-control-panel 3. Go to Appearance, for example. 4. Click a drop-down i.e. dock position. Maximizing the window makes it maximize but minimize at the same time. Closing the window works. Minimize and the rest of the window simply doesn't work. Using: Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch) Release: 20.04 I have NVIDIA proprietary drivers (440.64). What I expect: Normal behavior, not to get the minimize window behind the focused window.
