Issue
Since a few months I have three screens, a '24 HD on the left, and 2x 32' WQHD in the middle and right. Whereas my '24 in lower than my other two '34 screens. When using Coverflow (3D) OR Timeline (3D)* to switch between the apps that are open, I see the wallpaper from my middle screen stretch across the two other screens, with space left on my left screen (the lower part, because I have set this '24 lower than the other two '34) and space left on my right screen. Thus by using Coverflow/Timeline, it use my wallpaper of my screen in middle and stretch it out over all three screens.
I have it enabled by doing the following: Start menu > Windows > Alt-Tab > Coverflow (3D) OR Timeline (3D)
Steps to reproduce
Using Coverflow (3D) OR Timeline (3D) and start switching between the open apps.
Expected behaviour
That Coverflow/Timeline do not stretch my wallpapers, but is just hovering over it, when using it.

Research direction
Start at Start menu > Windows > Alt-Tab and reproduce the issue with Coverflow (3D) or Timeline (3D) across the three differently positioned screens. Trace the Cinnamon/Muffin implementation for these switchers; done means the middle screen's wallpaper is not stretched across the other displays while switching applications.
