When swiping between workspaces, Fusion windows pop to foreground

Suppose I have two workspaces (a.k.a. "spaces" or "Desktops") set up on a monitor. In workspace 1, I have several Fusion windows, and also some other unrelated windows, let's say a browser.

  • To begin with, I'm working in the browser.
  • Then I use Ctrl-Right to swipe to workspace 2 and put the focus on a Fusion window there.
  • Finally I use Ctrl-Left to swipe back to workspace 1 to return to my browser. Unfortunately, just a moment after swiping back to workspace 1, all Fusion windows in workspace 1 pop to the foreground, obscuring the browser window I'm trying to work in.

This happens often, though I I'm not certain it's 100% repeatable. It seems to me that it's something that's started fairly recently, or has gotten a lot worse, and it's turned into a significant annoyance.
