I've been really enjoying using tdrop but recently it broke after an update to Gnome and/or Alacritty the window started being transparent when unhidden.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with Gnome / Alacritty / tdrop.

Steps to reproduce:

Command:

tdrop -n 1 --width 100% --height 35% --post-map-hook 'wmctrl -r "Alacritty - Drop Down - Top" -b add,above,sticky' alacritty --title 'Alacritty - Drop Down - Top'
  1. Execute command for the first time, a new terminal window appears as expected ✔️
  2. Executed command a second time, window hides as expected ✔️
  3. Executed command a third time, window doesn't show as expected ❌
    1. Window opens, is focused and can be interacted with but doesn't render (transparent)
    2. As can be seen in the screenshots below it still shows up in the Overview and Alt+Tab

For comparison, this is what it looks like in the overview when it is working:

Observations

I've noticed that when I open a new window for any application the terminal window start rendering again.

I've also tried changing the command and switching the terminal to xterm but had the same results.
