If this helps, I've found that it occurs only on the first 70% of the top edge (from left to right) of the screen. Hoping to see the issue fixed. I can try out any patches if necessary. Thanks

Where I take the cursor, the artifact goes with it and flickers. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center I don't know what package to mark this as. The problem affects the Unity top bar. 3) What you expected to happen No artifacts or glitches 4) What happened instead Artifacts. --- .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu11 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz CurrentDmesg: [ 132.167417] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3 [ 132.170285] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A [ 322.379435] audit_printk_skb: 45 callbacks suppressed [ 322.379445] type=1400 audit(1344407858.854:27): apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" pid=1018 comm="cupsd" pid=1018 comm="cupsd" capability=36 capname="block_suspend" [ 435.251440] type=1400 audit(1344407972.046:28): apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" pid=1018 comm="cupsd" pid=1018 comm="cupsd" capability=36 capname="block_suspend" DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: precise DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: virtualbox, 4.1.12, 3.2.0-23-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 4.1.12, 3.2.0-27-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] [1002:9715] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device [1458:d000] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
