Present Windows broken after zooming more than once

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

When I zoom in on the desktop (Meta+=) then activate the Present Windows effect (Ctrl-F10), the window thumbnails are each individually zoomed, or gone, depending on the zoom level.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
* Enable Zoom and Present Windows effects.
* Press Meta+= once or twice
* Press Ctrl-F10

Actual Results:  
Window thumbnails are "broken." Please see attached screenshots.

Expected Results:  
I think the desktop should be automatically zoomed out prior to presenting the windows, and zoomed back in afterward.

nVidia GeForce 8600 GT w/ driver version 270.30
Xorg-server 1.10

almost all effects are broken with zoom - it just does not work

I read about this problem on your blog in the comments section just now. I wasn't aware it had been reported prior to 4.5 being released.

Patch to fix thumbnails/icons in present windows with opengl 2

Here is a small patch against 4.11.2 that fixes the text/icons in Present Windows when zoomed for the opengl 2 scene compositor.  This also fixes similar zoom issues with the geometry plugin, and the show desktop plugin and basically any effects that use EffectFrame.

Submitted a review request for this one too.

This is fixed in the QML rewrite for Plasma 5.23!
