Just a quick update on this. The issue came back when Ubuntu updated my compiz packages to the latest 1:0.9.11.1+14.04.20140701-0ubuntu1 versions. I updated to NVIDIA 340.24, and that didn't help. I had to actually stop lightdm from a tty and manually remove the entire ubuntu-desktop and

I just updated to Christopher Townsend's repo. This update seems to have fixed the problem for me. It's only been five minutes, but I've tested the situations that were most frequently exhibiting this problem (editing files in Vi within Guake while using pageup/pagedown to scroll, and scrolling

I get this same issue on GTX 560 Ti with NVIDIA 337.12, Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, 3.13.0-24-lowlatency kernel. The workaround from #48 didn't help me much at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu.

@Tye Sorry I didn't see your inquiry for so long. I can't say for sure which revision I had when I was seeing the problems, but I first noticed they were fixed with the latest Version 0048. There were many entries in the firmware development changelog that indicated problems related to video
