How can I float all windows and subwidows/alerts from a app?

Hi,

I have one application, Autodesk Fusion 360, which I use frequently, and it has a tonne of submenus. Every time I open one,
I get weird behaviour that includes mouse jumping, hovering and then disappearing (the most annoying, as it makes yabai unusable for the app). I have tried to disable yabai for this app via the config line

yabai -m rule --add app="^Fusion$" manage=off
yabai -m rule --add app="^Autodesk Fusion 360$" manage=off

yabai -m rule --add label="Fusion" app="^Fusion$" title="(Autodesk Fusion (Education License)|)" manage=off
yabai -m rule --add label="Fusion" app="^Autodesk Fusion 360$" title="*"  manage=off

But this doesn't seem to work. Ideally, I'd love to say that Fusion as a root container, and that all fusion and subwindows etc are contained within this container. Is this possible?

I've tried to see what others have done for this issue and it seems that adding a title rule helps, the only issue I have is that my Fusion titles dont have names, ie they're empty. Check the output below.

This is the window output for that space

{
  "title": "", // a hover submenu
  "app": "Fusion"
}
{
  "title": "",
  "app": "Autodesk Fusion 360"
}
{
  "title": "",
  "app": "Autodesk Fusion 360"
}

I've also attached a video

Thanks for the help!

Ok just realised something, maybe it's the mouse follow setting that I have.

Here's my previous yabairc

yabai -m config mouse_follows_focus          on
yabai -m config focus_follows_mouse          on

Turning these both off, removes the problem that I have. The only issue I have with this fix is that I loose the mouse focus when I jump between spaces. Is there a way to preserve the mouse following for spaces only and not windows? Also, I still have the opacity fading on the main app which is a little annoying. Not the worst but would be great to not have it.
