Why don't you point the bug, And let people judge by themselves?

And I can repeast it, covering the focused window with an unfocused
one does not make sense from a usability stand.

No matter that you'been using window managers for 20 years, tell me a
single reason why covering the focused window with an unfocused one is
a desirable behaviour.

Stop ranting and be _factual_
