Describe the bug
on float layout, when I have a window opened on top of a closed app window (a black rectangle with the app icon on the center), and I click on this [top active window overlapping the closed one], I loose the app focus and open the closed app. It's like clicking through the top window.
Expected behavior
I wish I can use an app without opening another app unintentionally.
To Reproduce
Occurs on Wayland
GNOME Shell version: 43.6
Distro: Debian 12 bookworm
Material Shell 32
Steps to reproduce :
open a new workspace with Float layout
open an app, pin it, close it.
open another app and move its window on top of the closed one, click it.

sorry if it's a duplicate, I have been searching, I'm afraid it's a bit crowded.

There are many use cases described in this last link :
Financial app opens a dashboard of windows across multiple monitors.
Medical app opens images (e.g. x-rays) on a high-resolution grayscale display.
Creativity app shows secondary windows (e.g. palette) on a separate screen.
Multi-screen layouts in gaming, signage, artistic, and other types of apps.
Personally I fall on the creativity case : I use Pure Data (have a look at this screenshot ;) ) which is a graphical programming app that allows to create many interfaces on many windows. Each window size should depend on what there are supposed to display. (These programs we create are called patches and we can share them, use them on many different devices, etc., they remember windows sizes when saving.)
It is also very useful for music creation : many digital audio workstations use plugins (LV2, VSTs, ...) that display in separate windows. Plus Linux is an excellent system thanks to formerly JACK and now PipeWire to use plenty of different apps together.
In that case windows are not always freely resizable.
Having a workspace using a floating layout is a necessity in that regard.
