Description
This bug happens with one specific menu bar app I'm using: Guidance. When clicked, a small window is opened, overlaying the window underneath. With
focus-follows-mouseenabled, this window disappears the moment the mouse enters the app's window, if it happens to overlay a tiled app underneath. In other words, it focuses the tiled app underneath. This way I can never reach the settings button at the bottom of this window.ffm-bug.mov
This does not happen to menu bar apps that open a native macOS menu, such as AeroSpace itself.
Steps to reproduce:
focus-follows-mouseExpected result: The app's window should not disappear when the mouse hovers over it.
Actual result: The app's window disappears when the mouse hovers over it.
Workaround: Temporarily engage floating mode on the tiled window that's causing the interference, move it out of the way of the menu bar so the little window would overlay an empty area on the desktop.
