drag and drop window in application intended feature fails to function

[apprehensions]

testing.mp4

the video linked above shows the feature of the Spotify client when a song 'entry' is held with mouse, which makes a seperate window that the spotify client will use to know where to place it in the current playlist.

testing.mp4

however, when this feature is done in shod - seen in the video above, the feature no longer works.

i am unable to determine what kind of window Spotify makes that makes it not able to see it's own windows, which in result makes it trying to find the window's position fail.

using xwininfo, i was able to find that this is a Chromium drag & drop window.
