There is a very noticeable flash when switching workspaces with slide animation caused by blur/unwanted windows being visible during animation.
I am not sure how to explain it with words, so I am attaching a video instead:
This might be related to another issue I noticed with blur+shadows, where switching the focused window causes windows next to it to have a slightly different color, most likely caused by blur+shadows. This can also be seen in the video
I have a feeling that blur should just fully ignore shadows, at least optionally, because it’s proving to cause more issues than providing benefits.
