Floating Container Behavior

[arakis]

Sequence:

mod+Return
mod+Return
mod+a
Shift+mod+Space
--> - Split Container with two terminals
- mod+Return adds a third terminal
- PROBLEM: it seems it's not possible to create a regular terminal tiling terminal in the background (behind the floating window)

What works:

• Keep at least one tiling window:

mod+Return
mod+Return
mod+h
mod+Return
mod+a
Shift+mod+Space
--> - Now you're able to change focus between floating window and tiling window, incl. creating additional windows.
- That's perfect!

Another strange situation:

mod+Return
Shift+mod+Space
mod+Return
--> - Now it was possible to create a tiling termin in the background,
after the floating was created.
- But now it's impossible to convert the floating window into a container.

Is this behavior intended, or should I create a bug report?
