Grid highlight window appears while switching between workspaces

[Fabio Marconi]

Hallo
This issue, see attached screencast, seems triggered by the use of the spacework shifter, and seems influenced from the presence of the white window in the launcher area ( seems that the terminal window in ws2 don't trigger it).
Also sometìmes the applications on the launcher autostarts.
Thanks
Fabio

I know this is a duplicate. I just can't find the original bug right now.

[Carla Sella (carla-sella)]

It happened to me too.
During test: "Test-case launcher/workspace-switcher" on this testcase: http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/231/builds/21598/testcases/1395/results, when you click on the desktop switcher, move an application from a window to another and then double click on a window to select it and go to it, an orange window appears on the left hand side of the desktop, as if you dragged an application to the far left of the desktop to tile it on the left.
The orange window does not go away until you drag a window in it an this window get's tiled on the left side of the desktop.
