Description

Describe the bug
When a popup window is minimized it reappears, but it's not possible to interact with it (neither with the content, nor with the controls).

Tested with:
Configs: My config, default
Applications: Telegram desktop, Jetbrains Rider, Nautilus, Konsole

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a popup (Nautilus about/preferences, Telegram call, Rider settings, Konsole preferences)
  2. Minimize it (through window buttons or the dock)
  3. It reappears

Expected behavior
The popup stays minimized

Trace how popup windows are minimized and reappear, then verify that the popup remains minimized and interactive after restoration is no longer triggered unexpectedly.
