Description

I think this is a yabai issue.
But, if I report it to brave, they're not going to fix it likely, so I don't know where to go.
The issue occurs when SIP is disabled and I use yabai, where I've set windows to be transparent and tranisition between active / inactive windows I think.
Breaks things when I have brave browser open and vertical tabs enabled, and another application such as alacritty. When I run something like alacritty simplefullscreen mode, Brave Browser bleeds through the vertical tabs, rendering them on top.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with SIP disabled on macOS 14.1.2 using yabai v6.0.6, Brave v1.61.114 with vertical tabs, and Alacritty in simplefullscreen mode. Compare the transparent active/inactive window transition with and without Brave; the payload names no source files or tests, so the relevant entry point still needs to be located.
