stack "flickers" after a new window is added to the stack and focus is moved back and forth

[grozan]

Hi,

I have a little problem with stacks, which I hope can be solved because it's quite annoying
Let me try to describe how to reproduce it.

Let's suppose a space, with only 3 terminal windows, side by side.
Let's call them w1, w2 and w3

1. go into w1, and stack it on top of w2, with (supposing 39410 is the id of w2)

yabai -m window 39410 --stack `yabai -m query --windows --window | jq '.id'`

The 2 windows are "merged", and the focus is in the new stack
So now we have one stack with w1 (visible) and w2 ("behind"), and a single w3 window next to it

2. from the same w1 window (now in the stack), move the focus to the other window left (w3)

yabai -m window --focus east

The focus moves and you're now in w3. You see w1 (unfocused) and w3 on the screen

3. finally, move the focus back to the stack

yabai -m window --focus west

Here the problem happens. When the focus changes, back to the stack, w1 disappears and w2 is shown instead.
w2 became the "front window of the stack", all by itself.
This is the 'flicker' effect I'm trying to describe here

Note that this does NOT happen if the focus is moved back and forth using the mouse
It happens only when the focus is moved using command-line calls (or keyboards bindings for the same commands in skhd)

is it only me, or can others reproduce it too?
Thanks!

I run into the same issue, but it seems to happen only with iTerm and Kitty for me.
