Sometimes, some games being run though steam will show the menu bar and shrink about 10-15% of the screen size when using Alt+Tab to go to another window. Games initially work fine but this only happens after using Alt+Tab to go to another window.
I tried using borderless fullscreen and fullscreen. Both show this issue.
Oh, also tested on DMS (DankMaterialShell) and Noctalia (V4 + V5). Same issue. So it seems to be an issue with Niri in general.
My Config has already been reset so it also happens on the default config.

gmbhneo3mo agoI've tried xeyes. However, it also stays behind the navbar. But, it does not have the same "shrinking" issue.
Btw, these are my game start settings: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 game-performance %command% using latest cachyos proton.

Sempyos3mo agoOki that video is perfect, judging from the way the steam notification shows in the bottom right corner the game is running via Xwayland-satellite

bczhc3mo agoTry adding PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 env if you are using proton-ge or proton-etaash or proton-cachyos.
(Btw xeyes will not move its eyes when the cursor is confined (some games do this) even if the app is running via xwayland session. A more reliable alternative way to test it is to use `watch -n0 'xdotool getmouselocation'
