Configuration:

Configuration file (Generated by nixOS) (Animations disabled due to spasms basically preventing me from using my computer)

``` active-opacity = 0.800000; animation-clamping = false; animation-dampening = 35.000000; animation-for-menu-window = "slide-down"; animation-for-open-window = "zoom"; animation-for-transient-window = "slide-down"; animation-mass = 1; animation-stiffness = 300.000000; animations = false; backend = "glx"; blur: { background = true; background-fixed = false; background-frame = false; blur-kern = "11x11gaussian"; enable = true; method = "dual_kawase"; strength = 10; }; blur-background-exclude = [ "class_g = 'slop'" , "class_g *= 'awesome'" , "class_g = 'Peek'" ]; corner-radius = 20; fade-delta = 5; fade-exclude = [ ]; fade-in-step = 0.028000; fade-out-step = 0.030000; fading = false; inactive-opacity = 0.800000; opacity-rule = [ "100:class_g *?= 'Firefox'" , "100:class_g *?= 'Alacritty'" , "100:class_g *?= 'neovide'" , "75:class_g *?= 'discord'" , "100:class_g *?= 'awesome'" , "100:class_g *?= 'Glowsquid'" , "100:class_g *?= 'Minecraft 1.8.9'" , "100:class_g *?= 'steam_app_1366540'" , "100:class_g *?= 'steam_app_284160'" , "100:class_g *?= 'steam_app_230410'" , "100:class_g *?= 'krita'" , "100:class_g *?= 'Emacs'" ]; shadow = true; shadow-exclude = [ ]; shadow-offset-x = -4; shadow-offset-y = -4; shadow-opacity = 0.700000; shadow-radius = 16; spawn-center-screen = true; unredir-if-possible = true; use-ewmh-active-win = true; vsync = true; wintypes: { dock = { opacity = 1; shadow = false; }; }; ```

Steps of reproduction

Load up an awesomeWM instance (My personal config is available at https://github.com/Suyashtnt/dotfiles/tree/master/users/tntman/config/awesome)
Open up windows in 2 workspaces
Switch between those workspaces

Expected behavior

Switching workspaces will function normally

Current Behavior

Every 1/5 times the window animations will "Take over" your screen and you can't do anything at all

Other details

I would show what happened but I'm unable to end the recording due to the glitch taking over my whole screen and freezing up AWM
