Public bug reported:
With an always-on-top window opened, Alt + Tab will, instead of giving
(keyboard) focus to the chosen window, focus will go to the always-on-
top window.
Reproducing steps:
1. Make sure your Ubuntu session is a Wayland session.
2. Open Firefox. Make sure it uses Wayland, launch with `env
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox`.
3. Play a YouTube video, and then clicks the Picture-in-Picture buttton.
4. Due to Wayland limitation, right-click on the PiP window and choose "Always
on top".
5. Open another window of anything e.g. a terminal.
6. Press Alt + Tab to switch to the browser.
Expected result: focus goes to the browser. If on YouTube, you should be able
to press '/' and cursor should go to the search box.
Actual result: focus goes to the PiP window.
This also happens if e.g. you use Alt + Shift to change keyboard
languages.
The system is Ubuntu 22.04 running Gnome-shell-based, Wayland, Ubuntu
session.
