I am experiencing the same bug. This makes the "Application Switcher"
plugin very annoying. As with others, the switcher is centered on
initial use and after some (unknown, TBD) time, it does a "jump" when
used. When jumpy, it first appears to be centered for a fraction of a
second, then moves diagonally, off center. The magnitude of the shift
seems to be variable (though always increasing). I have no information
on direction yet.
Regarding "evilregis"'s comment: You are correct that simply disabling
and then re-enabling that specific plugin ("Application Switcher" in the
CompizConfig Settings Manager) restores the correct centering behavior
of the switcher. When the shift becomes too far off, after hours of
time on the machine, I disable and then re-enable the plugin.
See elsewhere for how to install this extra software, it's easy, and
when done, you have access to a sort of control panel found in the
menus: System-->Preferences-->Advanced Desktop Effect Settings, as well
as through the original, "Appearence" preferences applet.
I will try the switcher after performing certain window management
tasks, such as maximize, minimize, unmaximize, full-screen, etc. to look
for events that initiate the jump. I guess that there's something that
accidentally adds to the shift every time it's done (therefore starting
at "0" magnitude and monotonically increasing thereafter). Just a
hunch, though I have not touched the code at all.
Hope this helps. Thanks!!
