Open MPV with some video; it can either be playing or paused.
Open some other window (say, st) to the left of MPV.
Swap the two (terminal goes to the right, MPV goes to the left); now the terminal is completely obscured by artifacts of the MPV window.
Note that if we do the reverse -- that is, start with MPV on the left and terminal on the right -- everything works fine. This is probably because things that are lower on the XMonad (the WM I use) stack are at the bottom of the z-order.
How to replicate:
