screenshot of the mulimonitor setup details

When using multiple monitors (in my case positioned on the right side of the primary screen using nvidia twinview) (see attachent) The workspace switcher behaves strange. It bounces up and down when moving the mouse from one screen to another over the switcher.

additionally the part of the switcher that is normally hidden and becomes visible when hovering the mouse over the visible part is not hidden at al, but clearly visible on the second monitor.

This behaviour definitely does not yield a nice user experience... It becomes an annoying tast to select different workspaces with the mouse...
