Bug Description

When setting up a Windows Focus Effect (CCSM->Animations-> Focus Animation Tab) to Dodge, Fade or Wave when switching between any windows (via mouse click or ALT+TAB), the last active window and new, current active window are white. The only visible part is top window bar with a window name and acction (i think that's how you call them) buttons (close, maxisemize ;). The only solution right now is to setup Focus Effect to None or Not-available.
