Description
Describe the bug
the wl-panel is sticked on the cube-surface, not on the screen. This makes the panel appear multiple times on all cube surfaces and flicker every time the cube is rotated (cube.rotate_left / rotate_right). The flicker is most noticeable if the animation_time is 100
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Enable plugin cube (use a cube.initial_animation time of 1000)
- Enable and configure wl-panel
- configure cube.rotate_left KEY_LEFT
- -- see wl-panel on the top/bottom of the screen
- press KEY_LEFT
Expected behavior
The wl-panel is sticky on the screen, not rotated with the cube
Wayfire version

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the cube plugin, wl-panel, and the listed cube.rotate_left or cube.rotate_right bindings, using the animation settings described. Trace how wl-panel is positioned during cube rotation; done means it remains a single screen-fixed panel without appearing on other cube surfaces or flickering.
