Description

Proton Version: Experimental
Titles: All
Issue: Clicking out of games on to another monitor / window more than once causes the game to crash. For example: Pressing the super key to open up something like the KDE Application Launcher or ArcMenu on GNOME, and clicking on to Discord on my right monitor, then clicking the dock icon to maximize the application works the first time, then clicking off again and going back causes a crash.

Distro: Garuda Linux GNOME
Compositor: Wayland
GPU Drivers: NVIDIA 510.54

Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed sequence on Proton Experimental with Garuda Linux GNOME, Wayland, and the NVIDIA driver: switch to another monitor or window repeatedly and return to the game. There are no files, tests, or entry points named; done means identifying and fixing the repeated minimize or restore crash and verifying that the sequence no longer terminates the game.
