[Bug 967999] [NEW] Compiz window preview is funny (and buggy)

 

Public bug reported:

Two issues here.
1.Window previews dont disappear at times when mouse is pulled away from launcher. I need to mouseover an icon without windows open (like swither) to hide preview.
2.Only a screenshot can make things clear. Please find attatched few screenshots. View them, and then start reading the rest.

Description:

Window preview appears when i hover mouse, thats good; but the preview corresponding to lower icon appears..
Dont kow how better to put it..
For example, if the home launcher is below dash launcher, and i have a nautilius window open, to get a preview of nautilus, i need to hover over dash icon..

After some observtion with telescopes, microscopes and god knows what, i found this:
To see the priview, i need to hover on the top half of the proper icon or lower half of the icon on its top. This became clear when many windows are open.

Its a funny UI bug, but it must be corrected. I dont want to see people
making fun of our Ubuntu.. :)

Seps to reproduce:
1. Log into a Ubuntu Oneiric machine with Unity UI
2. install ccsm if not already present.
3. open ccsm, enable window preview plugin
4. open few windows, hover on their icons in launcher
5. Laugh for a while, and click this bug affects me too!! :P
