FancyZones, FancyZones Editor
Steps to reproduce
Put any windows (even just a single application window) to the first zone, in whichever layout (stack/grid/custom) doesn't matter, then cycle through windows. Video included in link. https://imgur.com/a/gRX2C86
✔️ Expected Behavior
If there's 1 window, nothing will happen. If there's 2 or more windows, it will cycle between the windows.
❌ Actual Behavior
FancyZones windows will cycle to an/several invisible, untargetable windows. This only happens in the first zone. Second zone onward or if you put windows in multi zone (zone 1 + zone 2) don't suffer from this behavior.
This only happens with the first zone, I've tested all default layout and my custom layout, I have no idea why. I have to cycle 2 or 3 times until it return to the first windows. Indicated in the screen recording at the moment the chrome window defocusing, the other windows aren't showing up immediately as it has to cycle through some invisible windows.
Other Software
Same behavior with most applications.
