Not 100% sure it’s a regression, and seems to depend on the hardware a lot, but still, the UX improvement seems to be worth the effort as long as the provided patch doesn’t introduce problems itself.

I’ve split your commit so that the unrelated indentation changes are in a dedicated one, and then applied both. It would be helpful if you could avoid mixing up things in a single commit next time.

I felt that the hard-coded window list was problematic, so I changed the code you added to use the dynamically updated list of windows that we already have (commit ba20ca5f7349eab3acb82c4d81e60a0a181ab317).

May you please review the adjusted code I’ve pushed?

Uploaded current state as 0.8.14+jessie3.

It looks indeed better and I fail to see a problem with the new code.
