Description Felix Fischer 2022-10-03 19:27:50 UTC
SUMMARY
When using the overview effect, any window that crosses the border between two screens (i.e. it is shown on both) is shown twice. 
This can be quite confusing, especially when trying to clean up the mess of windows you have, and could lead to accidentally closing a window because you were thinking it was there twice.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag window to be partially on one screen and partially on another
2. activate the overview effect

OBSERVED RESULT
said window is shown twice, once on every screen that it was partially on


EXPECTED RESULT
window is only shown on screen where most of it was on
