Issues using interactive mode in i3wm / with GIMP

[chiefy]

Using GIMP 2.10.22 on i3wm

I noticed some weird behavior when I am tiling my windows and use GMIC it opens a new window to the right of GIMP (correct) and then if I don't stack windows, when I go to interactive mode, it will open the preview window the right (correct) but as soon as I mouse over any other window, it just disappears. If I start in stacked mode, it seems to behave more predictably but when I am done w/ my edits and hit enter, it closes the preview window and just goes back to the "processing" window where my only options are to cancel the operation. GIMP never gets back the mutated image.

I enabled very verbose logging in console but only see this:

gmic_gimp_qt[56104]: "Error: ~GmicProcessor(): There are 1 unfinished filter threads."

Ahh, here's some more from my .xsession-errors
