Bug description:
WORKAROUND/FIX:
unity --reset
TEST CASE:
Edit ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/%gconf.xml and add an
entry BEFORE composite and opengl for a dummy plugin name that does not exist.
Log out and in again.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
With Unity- and Compiz trunks I am seeing some odd flickering and corruption
on the Unity UI elements. In particular:
- Some reactangles of white tints flickering smoothly up an down on
the launcher
- The tooltip shadows grow smoothly (maybe taking 1s) to their full
size
- The panel/menubar drop shadow also seems to gradually repaint, also
looking sort of animated
Attaching a screencast to illustrate. The screncast didn't very well
capture how white tints on the launcher, but you can glimpse hints of
it. Otherwise the tooltip shadows and panel drop shadow animation is
very clear.
My graphics card is Sandy Bridge.
