            Bug ID: 441074
           Summary: windows with "keep above others" option don't stay
                    above windows in "windowed fullscreen" mode.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
I am trying to create a game overlay (something like gamebar in windows 10),
and i need my overlay to stay reliably on top of the game window. so, it has
the "keep above others" option. when i run a game in window mode, everything
works well. but once i go into windowed fullscreen mode, and i focus the game
window by clicking on it, my overlay or any app like firefox with "keep above
others" enabled goes into the background. i don't know if this is intended
behavior, but on windows, i don't have this issue and multiple overlays similar
to mine work fine. for now, i just set the game option "keep below others"
enabled, and now my overlay can stay on top. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any lutris game in windowed fullscreen mode. 
2. set any other app's window as "keep above others"
3. click on the game window to focus it and watch the other app's window go
into background

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
When the game is running in windowed fullscreen, the apps with "keep above
others" option enabled must be visible and not go into background. if the game
is in fullscreen, then maybe the apps should go into background? that's for the
devs to decide. this is how it works on windows atleast.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
