Describe the bug

Windows in the secondary display in a multi-monitor setup, jumps and pixelates when switching workspaces. (video included in attachments).

Steps To Reproduce

Note: Pixellation issue was not recorded in video, however existed visually watching it.

This bug seems to be enabled by the Tiling Assistant settings under General -> Active Window Hint, if it's set to Minimal or Always, it causes the above video issue to occur, when not even relevant.

That's actually a 'feature'. It may be hard to tell the focused window at a glance when switching workspaces while using tiled windows. That's why there is the scaling animation with the blue border effect on the focused window when switching workspaces.

As you already found out, you can disable it with the setting Active Window Hint set to disabled.

I will disable this feature in the future by default since there were other people who reported blurry windows with the animation.
