Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Being a "Utility" class window, the location bar dropdown is now
animated with the Glide 1 and Glide 2 Compiz animations in the "Normal"
and "Extra" desktop effects settings. This is both too distracting, and
breaks the "drop" metaphor.

Expected behavior: The dropdown window "drops down" with a subtle fade
effect, or no effect at all.

Actual behavior: The dropdown zooms in from nowhere when typing, and
disappears by shrinking towards the center when choosing an item.

An obvious fix would be to add a unique property of the window as an
exception to the Animations plugin effect selector, or if it makes sense
to exempt all other "Utility" windows as well, simply remove "Utility"
from the selection string. I'm not adding a Compiz task for now, as I'm
not sure that's the best fix.
