Bug Description
On my Ubuntu 12.04 I enabled the fade focus effect in compiz, but windows flicker when I switch between them. When I focus another window, it comes forth, but the other window flashes up for a moment. It's very annoying, like the rotate cube flicker bug.
using Compiz 0.9.7.8.

Another important comment:
I set the duration to 2 seconds, and now I know what causes the flicker. The fade effect is going reverse! So the window I selected comes up, then fades out (insted of in), and then comes up again and stays. Obviously it should fade in from full opaque state, and then stay.
(Isn't this bug somehow connected to the rotate cube flicker bug? The effect seems to be the same.)
