Public bug reported:
While the new spread is generally nicer than the previous one, it also
carries an inconvenience: the application's thumbnail is cropped.
This is not only an aesthetic issue: it becomes a problem, when the user
activates a window from the spread and immediately tries to activate a
control in the application, just to see that the wrong control gets
activated. This is especially easy to trigger when activating the dash
and immediately starting another application: due to the cropping of the
thumbnail contents, the user expects the restored application's controls
to be placed consistently with the thumbnail preview, but ends up
launching the wrong application.
I'm attaching a video, as it will be easier to understand: I want to
start the Flickr Uploader app, but Dotty is started instead.
