Task bar, other windows frozen/not refreshing while any game is running.

Hello. This is the first issue I've come across with Bazzite, it's been running great otherwise since my switch from Windows. (11700k, 128GB RAM, RTX3080, NVME)
When I run games via Lutris or Steam on my primary monitor, Discord, the taskbar, Steam friends list, etc on my secondary monitor freeze/don't refresh their contents.
For example, when in a voice channel on Discord & talking while gaming after "a while" the green circle indicating who is speaking stops showing, people leaving or joining aren't shown & when you click settings or anything in the window it doesn't respond. Minimising & restoring the window sometimes fixes it for a while.
It isn't just Discord, though that was how I noticed it. The taskbar will freeze & the clock will show a time in the past.
I moved them to the primary monitor behind the game but found they still have the same issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read my issue.
