Bug Description

When show "Show live previews of windows" is enabled in ccsm (ubuntu unity plugin -> switcher) the window content is black while the minimizing/ maximizing animation is performed. Bug occours only when using nvidia propritary drivers.

Easy fix disable in ccsm under ubuntu unity plugin -> switcher "Show live previews of windows in switcher".
Now it works.

My suggestion is to make this setting default for 14.04 LTS because it is annoying! Also "Show live previews of windows in switcher" seems to have no relevant function because when disabled everything works as intendet.
Edit: I was wrong on trusty this bug seems to reappear: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1283267
