Window switcher (alt+tab) cuts window title

[mspanc]

Binary package hint: metacity

Box that is shown when you press Alt+Tab, sometimes cuts selected window's title. It happens when you have only 1 window on the current desktop, press Alt+Tab and Tab again (without releasing Alt). After second Tab window title gets moved to the right (see attached video). Problem remains until you do Alt+Tab on the desktop where is more than one window.

Movie description:

At the beginning there's terminal with recordmydesktop used to capture screencast. I do Alt-Tab, small box with switcher appears - terminal thumbinail is only option, there's description "marcin@marcin-desktop ~" and then... description disappears. This is when I pressed Tab second time. At the end there is similar situation with firefox, but description gets moved to the right.

Ubuntu 8.04.1 (updated, without backports)

Fixed: Bug no longer exists in 8.10 due to modified alt+tab behavior.
