Thanks for the feedback. Have done some more tests.

* For a fresh new user the bug also occurs on a fresh installation of
Ubuntu 17.10.

* The bug don't occur on the laptop monitor, only external monitor
connected with HDMI cable.

* If the Gnome Terminal Profile - "Use transparency from system theme"
is disabled the flickering don't occur.

* Actually not related to Chrome, could be reproduced with Geany
(editor).

To me this solves the issue, so could be closed if the deselection of
"Use transparency from system theme" don't have any significant side-
effects.

Title:
  17.10 - flickering overlay patterns in gnome-terminal

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Clean install of Ubuntu 17.10.

  For gnome-terminal select color-scheme "black on light yellow".

  Overlay partly with e.g. Chrome (Browser) or Geany (editor). Then the
  border shadow of the e.g. Geany produces flickering extended shadows
  in the gnome-terminal. Foto with the extended shadows is attached.

  This bug was introduced with 17.10. This flickering didn't appear in
  17.04, 16.10, 16.04...

  Working as a developer with several open terminal windows on the
  desktop, this produces a disturbing desktop environment and mitigated
  by covering not used terminal windows complete with other apps.

  Haven't reproduced with other apps than gnome-terminal.

  Hardware
  Lenovo Thinkpad e330, cpu : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
  gpu Builtin : HD 4000
