Public bug reported: I Ubuntu 14.04, drag-to-maximize shows an incorrect preview when dragging a window to the top bar or the sides. The preview is simply the window pixmap scaled to the preview outline, even disregarding aspect ratio. The preview pixmap disappears after the animation. It looks really broken and glitchy.
Earlier Unity versions used a related effect, but with nearly completely transparent rendering, and fadeout of the pixmap with the animation, which was mostly okay. Looks like the translucent fading is broken, at the very least. IMHO scaling the window pixmap this way is not useful at all, though, because it isn't a proper preview of the window after scaling. I have put up a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Md_z0g4RE ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Drag-to-maximize show incorrect preview with outline + Drag-to-maximize animation shows incorrect preview -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
