Bug Description

Binary package hint: desktop-switcher

Some appearance themes (such as "New Wave") will highlight the small workspace icons in the Desktop-Switcher when they receive a mouseover event. They unhighlight when the mouse moves out, as expected. The error occurs when the user right-clicks the switcher app, and moves over the context menu. The small square (representing a workspace) doesn't unhighlight. It should unhighlight when the context menu initially opens (this would seem to be the easiest fix).

OS 9.04 Jaunty - Desktop
Development branch - April 2009

Repro steps:
1) Change your appearance theme to "New Wave" by System->Preferences->Appearance
2) Hover over the different workspace icons in the lower right corner of your screen. Notice how they become highlighted/unlighted as your mouse moves in/out.
3) While a workspace icon is highlighted, right click and move your cursor elsewhere. Then click on the desktop, another window, etc.
4) Error: The workspace icon remains highlighted.
