After komorebic stop some windows come back, others remain black rectangles. The only solution I found to those is to close them via taskbar and reopen.

This looks like a rendering issue - are these all Electron apps by any chance?

Actually, I can't tell if these are new ghost tiles or if I'm looking at actual app windows that are being rendered as black rectangles.

In either case a komorebic visible-windows output when this happens would be useful!

Most of the time it's actually Chrome, but tbh I haven't paid close attention. I have VSCode open at all times and I can say with near certainty that I don't recall this happening to a VSCode window.

I'll run the command next time I get the problem and report back.

Windows do receive clicks. In the case of Chrome i can close and restore tabs easily, but it's still mildly annoying.

Given that there are exactly two reports of this out of tens of thousands of users and no road to reproducibility (yet), I think if someone wants to continue investigating this the next point of call should be opening a bug report on the Chromium issue tracker.

@mudnug I think I experienced this before and I used the komorebic retile command to get it fixed (using a keybind). Could you please try this next time this happens?
