No idea what's going on there, and nothing I can google seems to be returning any reasonable results.
It's annoying because
- it's going on all the time
- every time the folder reappears, any popup menus disappear in whichever application is running (burger menus, search suggestions, etc.)
- occasionally another window pops up while I'm typing because, presumably, I'm triggering a shortcut (
Find Files on Desktop
)
I thought, earlier, before I caught the folder doing that, that it might be something generating key presses (because of the cancelling popups) and a google search led me to xev
, the output of which is the following every time it goes through that little dance:
`xev` output

Whether that's useful or not, I can't tell - again, my google-foo is failing me.
I'm none the wiser about what's going on - anyone any pointers?
