of app

Reproducton steps
SUMMARY
Task manager currently swaps shown preview window too quickly. When going to
select a preview instance of an app the mouse pointer will naturally touch
other running app icons as part of travelling the shortest distance to the app
preview. This causes the previous app preview to be lost.
Best way of understanding this is watching the attached video, I think.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a Task manager widget ready
2. Launch two of one app, one of another
2. Hover over the app with two instances, causing preview windows for the app
to show
3. Attempt to take shortest route with mouse to 2nd instance to the right
(that is: move diagonally)
4. This will cause the mouse to touch the app to the right of the current app
in the task manager bar
OBSERVED RESULT
The preview windows of the 2 app will disappear, and the preview window of the
other app will appear
EXPECTED RESULT
Some delay in showing the other app, allowing the user to select the 2nd
instance of the originally previewed app.
Currently, the user must first go up and then to the right, to avoid touching
any other app. This is super annoying!
Requiring the mouse to stand still on the app before switching preview would be
great.
