Bug Description

Since updating to the new workspace switcher preview layout some time last week, windows often lose decorations when using the workspace switcher.

Steps to reproduce:
1- click on the workspace switcher
2- double-click on a different desktop
3- repeat 5-10 times until window decorations don't appear

Often just clicking on a window will make them come back, but sometimes I need to switch workspaces again for them to reappear.
