Brodie, are you having the issue where menu dropdowns and right-click context menus refuse to render? Tenacity, LibreOffice and a few other applications are completely unusable for me, and since Alpha 5, I've been splitting way more time between COSMIC (which I do daily) and my Pantheon fallback. I'm glad they're rolling out accessibility features, and the new changes to workspace have been a godsend, but I'd honestly prefer a less feature rich MVP that was a lot more stable and bug-free, so I hope they're not incurring too much tech debt.

@l-const If the issue is still there when COSMIC hits Beta, I might just go ahead and do a full system wipe and reinstall. It's been about 2-1/2 years, so I'll totally buy that there's some misconfigured cruft somewhere.

@hermdude Oh, interesting. That's an avenue I could explore. Not stacking—I'm almost always using tiling—but I can definitely mess around with the "focus follows" settings and see if I have the issue when an application is the only one active.

@mmstick Thanks! Looking forward to seeing if that fixes it when it gets merged. I also want to be clear: I'm a yuuge COSMIC Stan. I love what y'all are building enough to daily drive it, warts and all. So I really hope it doesn't sound like I'm just relentlessly complaining.
