Does the new nvidia driver 381.09 beta work? Does the driver solve this bug? ** Description changed: == Update: == - Nvidia states that the bug will be fixed in the next release: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/990898/linux/suspend-corrupts-window-manager-after-upgrade-to-378-09/2.

Meanwhile workarounds have to be used to alleviate/overcome the bad window borders and title bar caused by driver version 375.39. == Possible workarounds for the time being == - Alternative A: Keep using nvidia-375.39 with workarounds. E.g. kill or replace compiz process. See comments #13 and #44 given below for implementation details. Beware, some users found the command killed applications like Firefox or Thunderbird on resume while others did not. E.g. Use "unity" command (see comments #4 and #23) E.g. Click an effect in CompizConfig Setting Manager (CCSM) --> Effects. (see comment $5) - Alternative B: Use alternative graphic drivers. E.g. Install nvidia-340 package if that versions supports your graphic card: sudo apt install nvidia-340. Or use Nouveau display driver or other suitable drivers available in System Settings --> Software & Updates --> Additional Drivers. - Alternative C: Downgrade to earlier driver versions that worked before the updgrade occurred. E.g. use nvidia-367 package. Beware, that this driver version has unfixed security holes! Downgrading works in Yakkety, possibly also in Xenial, but likely not in Zesty. Command to downgrade: sudo apt install nvidia-367=367.57-0ubuntu3 libcuda1- 367=367.57-0ubuntu3 nvidia-opencl-icd-367=367.57-0ubuntu3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original text of this bug report: My system graphic driver had just updated to 375.39 but Borders of pop- up windows are displayed badly.
