Hy!

Here is a video of the problem. What's happening is:
- Click on the workspace switcher icon
- Right click on the second workspace
- The decorations missing until I move one window
- Click on the workspace switcher icon
- Right click on the first workspace
- The decorations missing again

Also I found out that this happens only when I actually land on a different workspace where I started the switcher.

could be quite related to bug 841247 for the root cause

I experienced bug 841247 but in my optinion these aren't related since when I miss the decorations, the window already have focus and fully usable. Also all windows missing the decorations, not only the focused one.

Not only is the decoration missing, but the window flickers very often.
If you switch to an empty workspace you also see the last window appear for a fraction of a second.

Achim. This is a different bug (I think) appeared after the last updates.
This bug is far older :)
