Shift Switcher preview vanishes after a few seconds

This seems to happen only when the regular application switcher plugin is enabled.

Hi, I can confirm this bug with the same graphic card (Intel 965GM) and with Ubuntu Gutsy on an HP laptop 6720s. When switching through windows, the first 2 or 3 windows switch correctly, then more TAB pressing results only in a empty screen, with the normal background and the reflection on the bottom of the screen.
There's a way to bypass the problem: deactivating the reflection this plugin works correctly, with no empty screens at all. Since I had no problems with cube-reflection or expo-reflection, I assume that this is a matter of this specific plugin, not of the handling of the reflection itself.

This bug also exists on my HP 6510b laptop. If I turn the reflection off the swither works as normal.

I am experiencing the same bug on my desktop, and seem to have the same graphic card:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

When I use the plugin, the preview images only display for a few seconds, like with elyk. If I switch through the windows really fast, I can see some of the animation working before the preview images disappear. I think it takes the same amount of time if I switch through really fast or if I switch only once and hold the "Super" button. But unlike elyk, this happens to me whether I have the regular application switcher plugin on or off.

I don't know if it helps, but here is a list of the plugins I have on:
- Desktop cube
- Rotate cube
- Show desktop
- Animations
- Paint fire on the screen
- Window decoration
- Wobbly windows
- JPEG, Png, Svg and Text
- Cube caps
- Dbus
- Regex Matching
- Resize Info
- Video playback
- Workarounds
- Move window
- Place windows
- Scale
- Shift Switcher
- Snapping Windows
- Resize Window

Even I'm using a Dell Vostro like eylk and facing the same problem. The problem doesn't disappear if i remove the standard application switcher. It disappears after I disable reflections in the shift switcher. I just started facing this problem. I wasn't facing it during the first few hours of using compiz fusion.

The same here,

Dell XPS M1330 with Intel GMA X3100.

Update :
- The problem disappears after I disable reflections in the shift switcher option (in ccsm) like other people
- If y replace compiz with : `metacity --replace` and then relaunch : `compiz --replace` the problem disappears (with reflection activated) until a new application window appears ...

Update:
my problem also disappears after I disable reflections in the shift switcher option like other people.

I'm happy yo say that disabling the reflections solved the problem for me. Thanks, guys!

I have the same problem, also using a Intel GMA X3100 / GM965. Disabling reflections does not solve my problem, but disabling the application switcher (ALT+TAB) does. Enabling or disabling reflections (which I have disabled, since it causes my title bars to disappear) have no effect on the Shift Switcher plugin.

I'm also having the this exact problem, but ONLY after I switch workspaces - it works fine with reflection until then. Disabling shift switcher reflection fixes it. I can also run "compiz --replace" to get it to work until I switch workspaces again. I'm curious if it is this way (after workspace switch) for anyone else....

I have Intel GMA x3100 graphics on a Dell 1420 series Inspiron laptop.

I have the exactly problem as Jonathan, it works fine with reflection on as long as I don't switch workspaces. And turning off reflection fixes the problem.

My computer is an Acer Aspire 5315, it has a GMA X3100/GL960.

Is there any way to fix this bug without disabling reflection?

I've been testing the Hardy alphas and the beta 1 release with a live disc and Hardy Beta 1 seems to have the problem fixed for me. I don't know how it works once installed though....

This bug seems to be fixed in version 0.7.4-0ubuntu5
