Description from duplicate bug entered by Charline after conducting the Natty user testing:

--------------------------------

Usability testing has shown that participants misinterpret the semi-maximise and maximise gesture previous shadow as a warning to stop their action. They do not understand the correlation between this gesture preview and semi-maximising and maximising the window.

Desired solution:
- implement the maximise and semi-maximise transitions as illustrated in the animations provided by design.

- This gesture preview does not need to be live. A cached snapshot of the window can be stretched as a performance optimisation.
