Go to overview
St.set_slow_down_factor(5)
Position mouse not over a window
Hit the logo key to leave the overview
Wiggle the mouse while the overview is moving

You'll see the a close button appear and fly about.

[ Seen with overview-relayout, but likely not a regression ]

Yes, it is a regression. During the transition, a reactive cover pane is raised to the top of the overview group to prevent interaction. As the workspaces view has been moved out of this group (which is faded in while the workspaces zoom), it is now still possible to interact with the workspaces - note for instances how it is also possible to change the window being activated during the animation. Easy solutions would be to either move the cover pane to the group's parent, or have the workspaces view raise its own cover pane.

This got fixed at some point.
