Mission Control issue : some windows disppear

Hi all,


I'm experiencing some weird issue with Mission Control (it was with Lion ... and Mountain Lion did not correct this) :

You can see a video I've taken yesterday (sorry for the poor quality) : http://youtu.be/gAwIcF4JINc


As you can see :

- Mission-Control makes some of my windows (all windows in the example video) disappearing : they're reduced to "0" pixel

- Sometimes, the App icon stays visible (but I cannot select the windows as it is 0pixel size ...). Sometimes, even the App icon is not shown (often with Safari)

- Sometimes : only Safari is experiencing the issue ==> all other windows stay OK (Finder, etc... can be selected in Mission Control and Safari is the only 0 pixel sized). In the enclosed video, all apps are affected which is quite rare.


if I close the impacted app(s) and relaunch it, mission control handle the re-opened app(s) correctly.


Is there any way to fix this ?

I was hoping it was a 10.7.x issue but as 10.8 (incl. 10.8.1) is not fixing this, I'm losing patience.


Thanks in advance,


Yo

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), iPhone 4 4.2.1

I had this happen to me today, on 2 separate machines......an '09 iMac, and a retina MacBook Pro. Massive coincidence, as it occurred on both machines within 5 minutes. The retina was migrated from the imac, but this is the first time I've seen it on either machine.


I'm not willing to call it an issue yet, but if it happens again, I'll try the suggested workaround :).
