A bug in mutter is causing issues with window previews in some extensions

[Krutonium]

Describe the bug

I'm running my system on Unstable right now as one does on occasion, and I've run into a bug with an extension that I use called dash to panel. I tracked down the bug on their tracker, and found that it's a bug in Mutter itself, that was fixed in these two commits.

I am writing to request that these two commits be added to mutter, basically, and I'll admit I'm not even sure this is the place to do it, or the way to do it. If it's not, point me where to/how to, please and thank you!

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use Gnome 42
2. Install Dash to Dock
3. Window Previews don't close due to a bug in Mutter

Expected behavior

Window Previews should close

If it bothers you enough, you can open a PR against mutter, adding the commits using fetchpatch:

Hopefully, the patch will apply without any changes.

Otherwise, you can wait for 42.1 release, for which tarballs should be available on Saturday, April 23:

When is 42.1 coming to unstable out of curiosity?

This seems to be fixed! Thanks :)
