SUMMARY The selection background for a window that is being dragged does not move or scale with the window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Activate Overview effect with at least one window open 2. Drag a window around 3. Selection background stays in place until the mouse cursor leaves the area where the window originally was. OBSERVED RESULT Selection background does not move or scale with window, instead it stays in place where the window was and disappears when the mouse leaves the area where the window was. For instance if you drag a window far enough until the mouse cursor is outside of the selection background, it will disappear. EXPECTED RESULT The highlighted background for a window that is being dragged should move and scale with that window. Either this, or perhaps the selection background disappearing entirely would be more in line with what a user would expect.

Yeah, it should disappear.
