Description

Describe the bug

Retiling a tiled window via the Tiling Popup freezes it

  1. Tile a window; let's call it window A
  2. Raise another window above that tiled window (This is important!)
  3. Tile another window so that the Tiling Popup opens up and choose window A
  4. Window A "freezes" and can't be interacted with

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze using the listed steps with the Tiling Popup, especially after raising another window above window A. Trace the popup's selection and retiling behavior for the affected window. Done means a previously tiled window remains interactive when selected for retiling on both XOrg and Wayland.
