Switching between workspaces does not refresh the view

When I switch from one workspace to another, the second workspace will have a view of one of the applications of the previous workspace painted on it, I can not interact with this view!

If you wish, take a look at this screen-recording of the issue.

I can solve this by restarting GNOME (alt+f2:r), but I want a real solution, I have been using this setup for more than a month, and only now did this start to happen, I installed Steam yesterday, could there be a correlation?

Edit: I discovered another symptom of this glitch which is the fact that windows + d does not show desktop, instead it shows a frozen image of whatever app I was on when I pressed the keys. (thanks to
med benzekri for helping me discover this)

Here is the results of running neofetch:

I just checked and `windows + d` is broken! it does not show desktop; instead, it moves the current window slightly up and renders a frozen image of it.

I guess logging out works, the glitch is gone for now.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
