Steps of reproduction

1. Load up an awesomeWM instance (My personal config is available at https://github.com/Suyashtnt/dotfiles/tree/master/users/tntman/config/awesome)
2. Open up windows in 2 workspaces
3. Switch between those workspaces

Expected behavior

Switching workspaces will function normally

Current Behavior

Every 1/5 times the window animations will "Take over" your screen and you can't do anything at all

Other details

I would show what happened but I'm unable to end the recording due to the glitch taking over my whole screen and freezing up AWM
