Public bug reported:
When switching desktops with compiz enabled, there is a nice animation showing
the desktop is being switched.
When the animation completes, the panel displays the list of windows on the
desktop you've switched to.
But *during* the animation, when the new desktop (including the panel
area) is already visible, the window list in the panel in the new
desktop (and the desktop pager, and perhaps other panel widgets) are
still rendered with the information from the old desktop. This has two
effects:
A) There's a "quirk", or "jump" when the window list "disappears" after the
animation completes.
B) There's a short moment (about a second) where the window list of the current
desktop mismatches the actual windows you have on screen - and this is
confusing.
C) It requires the user to wait for the entire animation to end, in order to
see a list of windows on a specific desktop. This slows quick users down and
makes desktop switching a very slow way of listing which windows are at which
desktops.
I am using Gutsy Gibbon, with compiz enabled in "Custom" mode, with
Desktop cube enabled ("inside mode", though it also happens in other
modes).
