Bug Description

The animation for the Grid plugin is not working well in my setup. I am using Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 on Intel hardware.
The issue appeared with the update of unity to 3.8.4-0ubuntu1. This is probably a regression related to "Feature Freeze Exception: Animation for Grid Plugin Previews (LP: #744104)"
A video is attached to show the problem.
