Chromium draws itself over other windows even when it's on a different workspace #55

Not sure if it's a Chromium issue or a spectrwm issue, but I think I might have better luck posting it here.

Reproduction:

  1. Run Chromium and put in any workspace.
  2. Go to a different workspace and run another application there.
  3. Switch to workspace with Chromium
  4. Switch to workspace with some other application.
  5. Whenever something happens in the Chromium window, Chromium would draw itself above whatever is on the other workspace, though it's just the window contents, any interaction goes to the actual window on that workspace, and if the actual window on that workspace updates itself, it will draw above what Chromium drew.

This is what it looks like when Chromium draws itself over urxvt running "man man", and I scroll down one line. 2014-07-11-013356_3360x1080_scrot

This is a problem as it makes it quite difficult to do work on other workspaces if I have Chromium open on one, as Chromium would unexpectedly draw itself over whatever I'm currently doing on the other workspace.

I'm on Chromium 35.0.1916.153 (274914) and spectrwm V2.5.1 on ArchLinux.

It appears that this no longer happens to me and there wasn't a new version for Chromium or spectrwm. Guess it was caused by something else, but no idea what.
