Too much recursion error #1126

Description

Describe the bug
Just by turning on the extension, an error appears in the log as JS ERROR: too much recursion.

The error keeps increasing until the DE crashes.

It also seems that PaperWM detects a window that does not exist, or something like that. I notice this because of the styles that are added when focusing on a window. Trying to do something (resize, close, etc.) does not seem to cause anything.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Activate the extension
  2. Errors begin to occur continuously
  3. The DE crashes.

Expected behavior
The DE should not crash just by activating the extension, and there should not be an “invisible window”.

Screenshots
The “invisible window” I was talking about:
