After some time, floating windows (such as right-click menus or the
downloads panel in Firefox) become seemingly invisible. They still pop
up and you can click the items within them, you just cannot see what
you're clicking. It turns out that these floating windows are actually
being rendered behind the base window.
Re-opening the base window (or in the case of Firefox a new browser
window) will cause all floating windows spawned from the new instance to
be rendered in the foreground, while the old ones will still be hidden.
This has caused me to often have to open a new browser window and moving
the tab over from the old one to copy links and save images.
It only happens after a certain period of time, but happens across
different AppVMs. I am running i3-qubes, and my i3 config can be found

Anyone else having a similar issue or know what might be causing it?
