Bug Description
When activating expo mode, either through the icon in the launcher or using super-s, dragging of a desktop causes really ugly screen flicker. The flicker is almost as if a snapshot of desktop 3 flashes on desktop 1 or desktop 2 flashes on desktop 4. It's like all the desktops suddenly swap around for a split second. Very ugly and detracts from the overall feature and experience. This issue did not exist before Unity.
I have attached a video showing this issue.

BTW this happens in 32 and 64bit on a physical machine and a virtual machine. Is not related to version or graphics driver
