This is Manjaro specific as far as I know. There is an application on Manjaro budgie preinstalled, which handles the window preview when pressing alt + tab. Disabling preview control with removing the check-mark Run Previews resolves the issue for know. (but it also disables the alt tab menu)

This isn't an official applet or part of the official Budgie Desktop experience.

This issue is somewhat widespread, it seems. As this issue is closed, but many people will google their way here, I created a new thread over at the Manjaro Forum.

Let's hope this gets resolved soon!

I think I managed to hunt down and solve the issue. It's the Arch Linux package that Manjaro uses, which needs to be fixed - or updated rather. Please see the original bug report for details. Thanks!
