The issue appears to be because of the opacity:

    body.latest-mac.window-inactive .toolbar .dashboard-container {
        opacity: 0.65;
        ...
    }

Which contains an animating element. This then uses a cascade of overlapping elements.

A possible workaround might be:

    body.latest-mac.window-inactive .toolbar .dashboard-container > *
        opacity: 0.65;
    }

Naw that isn't good, it causes a few other issues and making it work starts being ugly.

An easy solution, stop the animation when the window is inactive!
