Description Alex Hultman 2017-12-12 20:37:56 UTC 
I noticed a major difference in how window management works in 3.26 compared to all prior 3.x:

1. Snap two windows to each edge of the screen, left and right.

2. Now open a third window and let it stay unsnapped over the left window you already snapped.

3. Now focus on the right window by clicking on it, this will wrongly hide the third window, the "loose" window.

This behavior is completely different from prior versions where clicking on a window, snapped or unsnapped, only hides what is actually needed to hide / what actually makes logical sense from a purely visual standpoint.
