Brief summary

In a qube, after dragging & dropping a file from the Thunar file explorer into the file explorer in VSCodium, the Thunar window stays on top, but becomes non-interactive, as clicking anywhere in the Thunar window registers in the VSCodium window below.

Steps to reproduce (in a qube)

  1. Install VSCodium
  2. Start VSCodium and open a directory in it
  3. Open a Thunar window and create a file
  4. Drag and drop the file from Thunar into the explorer part (on the left) in VSCodium (to copy it into the opened directory)

Actual behavior

The Thunar window now stays on top, but the clicks register in VSCodium.

Expected behavior

Either the Thunar window should not stay on top, or it should be clickable.
