[Wayland] Ghost Window Appears When Minimizing + Switching Workspaces When Using Dash-to-Dock Together With Blur My Shell【Wayland】Dash-to-Dock 与 Blur My Shell 同时启用时,最小化窗口并切换工作区会出现幽灵窗口(Ghost Window) #813

Description

@BShyw

Environment

GNOME Shell: (GNOME Shell 49.2)

Wayland session

Dash-to-Dock: default settings

Blur My Shell: default settings

Both extensions enabled at the same time

Issue Summary

When Dash-to-Dock and Blur My Shell are enabled together under Wayland, a ghost window appears after minimizing a window and switching workspaces. This does not happen when either extension is used alone.

Steps to Reproduce

Open any application window

Minimize the window

Switch to another workspace

Switch back

A “fake” window appears on the original workspace

Actual Behavior

A ghost window appears visually on the workspace

The ghost window cannot be interacted with (clicks do nothing)

The actual application window remains minimized

Dash-to-Dock shows the window as still open

This only happens when Dash-to-Dock + Blur My Shell are enabled together

Expected Behavior

No window should appear after switching workspaces if the window is minimized

Workspace should remain empty until the window is restored manually

No ghost window overlays

Notes

This issue happens on default configuration for both extensions

Changing Blur My Shell settings or disabling its Dock blur temporarily avoids the issue

The problem seems related to Wayland rendering or actor state synchronization between the two extensions

On Xorg this issue does not appear

Conclusion

This bug appears to be a compatibility issue between Dash-to-Dock and Blur My Shell under Wayland. I hope this report helps developers identify the cause.
