Bug ID: 373255
Summary: Visual distractions: item highlight persists when
mouse pointer is not over desktop
Product: plasmashell

Screen shot 1 - pointer leaving the desktop
Items in the folder view as desktop containment are highlighted when the mouse
pointer is over them. This is good for feedback when working on the desktop,
but the problem is that if the mouse is moved directly from a highlighted item
to a window, the item stays highlighted. This looks like an unwanted artifact,
see screenshot 1.
The second problem is that, when the pointer is eventually moved back over the
desktop (even onto a completely different place) the original highlight then
disappears, see screemshot 2. This is a distraction because it happens in the
user's peripheral vision, so drawing their attention away from their current
position of interest (the mouse pointer).
Both of these could be fixed if the highlight could be arranged to disappear
when the mouse pointer is not currently over the desktop background.
