This is issue i agree.

This is issue i agree.

the solution might be wm specific but would work , like hide all the windows in monocle mode except the focused one so picom wouldnt draw multiple shadows

First of all thanks for keeping this project alive, really appreciated!

Now re this bug unfortunately it's not just "window" related, it happens with popups too, for e.g. context menus. Also it happens with FluxBox toolbar (where one can simply exclude it) but for popups not sure what to do.

FYI: it only happens with --experimental-backends and only on some places, for e.g. in Eclipse 4.20. The easiest to reproduce is to simply launch eclipse and go to File -> Switch Workspace
