It's a Compiz problem. I figured this out about a week after I installed 14.04 (which was a week after 14.04 was released). To fix it, you get CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) and you go down to "Workarounds" in the "Utility" Category and check the box that says "Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint". This will fix the problems as it forces the system to draw only the latest info and discard of any old buffers that cause it to flicker between old and new draws. I recently reset unity and I was trying to find out how I fixed it and then I remembered while I was on this page, so I decided to tell you guys how to fix it and maybe help Canonical developers fix this annoying problem.
