Public bug reported:

I am using one screen on my laptop, one connected via hdmi directly to my 
laptop and one via iTec usb 3 dockingstation. I have Nvidia proprietary drivers 
installed but switched to the open ones, as suggested in the workaround on this 
site (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1278223). I followed 
the workaround and uninstalled displaylink drivers, rebooted, reinstalled them 
and rebooted. This worked nicely, but I wanted to use a sceen in portrait mode 
instead of landscape, so I rotated it and after this my cursor flickered and 
was followed by an werid rectangle, in which the screen doesnt update. So I 
tried reinstalling again but without success. I also tried the command xrand 
--auto, but without success. The rectangle stayed. I tried to deactivate my 
smallest screen, which was the integrated laptop screen, but the problem 
persisted. If i uninstalled die display link driver, reboot so that I only use 
the directly connected screen and my laptop screen, then everything worked 
properly with and without rotation.  Also after those driver un- and 
reinstalling the flickering would occur even without screen rotation (with 
display link driver installed).
After some searching I stumbled upon 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-384/+bug/1684240
 which suggested logging out and then in again, which solved my problem.

Now I can operate 3 monitors and one beeing rotated.
