Always on top windows can steal focus

Bug description

Always on top windows (such as task manager in my case) can remain hidden during fullscreen but will steal focus from the osu window if clicked. On a single-monitor setup, this is mildly annoying if I want to measure system resource consumption during gameplay.

For your specific use case, I don't see how having Task Manager be always-on-top is useful, as it's hidden when you're in-game. I suggest you either disable always-on-top mode in Task Manager, or minimize it when you play osu!. (Task Manager will measure system resources even when minimized.)

Of course there are ways around it, I just thought that I should bring it to your attention. It's probably just a low-priority issue or non-issue.

Having an always on top window blocks osu from claiming focus on startup. It is possible to start a map without having focus when using the build-in tablet feature and keystrokes wouldn't register while playing. Haven't encountered the issue with losing focus though.

Tested on Manjaro with xfce. I'm using scrcpy with alway on top mode over the browser with a multi-monitor setup .
