Public bug reported: When a combo box is selected all the currently open windows will be drawn on the screen, even if those windows are on other workspaces.
How to reproduce: - Open different windows: Files and Terminal - Send one window to a different Workspace: right-click on the title bar, Move to Workspace Down/Up - Open Settings | Appearance - Open 'Position On Screen' combo box - Windows that were sent to other the worspaces will appear on the screen. Windows aren't active and you're not able to interact with them, they are just displayed. Some windows will have a title bar that can be interacted with. In my example, it was Brave browser, I was able to click on minimize/maxime/close buttons and move the window around, but window content wasn't responsive. However, Terminal, Files, Settings were completely unresponsive.
