This workaround works, but the help text "Forces the entire screen to redraw every repaint. [...] will cause a massive increase in CPU and GPU usage" gives me hesitation especially when I'm a laptop where an increase of use is, well, bad for mobility.

Enabling doesn't increase it as drastically as it says and taking a terminal window with htop on a trip across my workspaces with the setting on or off doesn't change how intensive compiz has to work in any discernible way.

Also the Won't Fix status is confusing too. Because what /is/ the alternative to the application switcher?
