[Bug 31605] [EA Origin] creates an undrawable unmanaged window on Mass Effect 3 start

A temporary workaround to this is to execute the following command while ME3
window is in focus (requires xdotool utility):

xdotool search --name Origin windowunmap %@

This will hide all Origin windows including this buggy one. The tricky part is
doing this not in terminal or any other window but with a keyboard shortcut
because when ME3 window loses and regains focus this obstructive window is
created again. Look into your WM config or DE preferences to bind this command
to a keystroke. For example, in Awesome WM I added:

awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "r", function ()
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("xdotool search --name Origin windowunmap %@")
end),

And pressing Modkey+Shift+R solves the problem. For the first time I had to
switch to another tag and press these keys there, though.
