Comment 135 for bug 709461

Oh, I forgot to point out that the only way that I have found to get rid of the dead zone after switching away from the "Static Application Switcher" and the "Application Switcher" plugins to another switcher is to restart compiz. The dead zone persists even if you switch back and forth between the gtk-window-decorator and unit-window-decorator until you do so.

Another annoyance caused by this bug is when you use the viewport switcher plugin, and have viewport switching with the mouse wheel enabled. If, for example, you have firefox open to a website, and you try to use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down when it happens to be in this dead zone the viewport is switched.
