           Summary: Window Tabbing highlight broken
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: metacity
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com

In previous versions of metacity when Tabbing through windows, it would draw
round the border of the window no matter how deep in the stack it was.  The
resulting effect of this is that I could tab through my windows and rather than
look at the icon and titles, just wait until I saw the border in the place I
remember the window being.

This gave a great subconcious "give me the window that was *THERE*" effect.  In
fact, it was so great and subconcious, I had to have it pointed out to me that
I'd been using and relying on it for ages.

Sadly this appears to be broken in the latest version, and it's like losing a limb.

Instead of drawing the border and keeping it there, it ever-so-briefly flashes
it.  In fact, it's so quick that it's almost impossible to make out.  If this is
a deliberate decision, it was a very bad idea and could it be reverted?  If not,
could we fix the bug.

I'd like my limbs back <g>
