Unfortunately there are still a few problems at 4.3.95 (4.4 rc2).

With vertical "informative" layout, with many open windows the alt-tab box
extends below the bottom of the screen so that items are not visible. Not as
big a problem with "compact" layout since can get many more on the screen, but
with it is is still possible to "overflow" the screen.

With vertical informative layout, the mouse pointer positioning is off. If the
point of the cursor is below the lower half of the desired line, it select the
line below. To select the desired line the wide part of the arrow has to be
exactly centered on the line.

With vertical informative layout, if there are only a few items on the list
(e.g.,3) selection with mouse is way off. To select any item you have to click
in the space much above any of the items. Typically you would not use the mouse
in this situation but it should still work as it did in 4.3.x and 3.5.x.

I probably wouldn't use the tabular layout, but its mouse selection is also way
off (e.g., click on item in right column, selects something in middle column).
