Description Bacteria 2021-10-18 06:52:33 UTC

SUMMARY
Activity switcher behaves like a window and displaces windows instead of overlapping them. The windows move to accommodate the switcher whereas in X the switcher overlaps the windows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a window and move it to the left portion of screen so it obstructs the space that is needed by switcher.
2. Switch activity using keyboard shortcut.

OBSERVED RESULT
The switcher moves the window towards right or shrink in size if no space is available towards right.

EXPECTED RESULT
The switcher should overlap the windows.
