Khursid, thanks for the reply.
> Newer version Ubuntu doesn't support amd gpu

The link says:
Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (Linux kernel 3.13.0), Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and later
For the most recent ATI/AMD graphic cards supported by the Radeon driver, DPM 
(Dynamic Power Management) should work automatically without additional steps.

Where does it say no support of amd gpu?
And if, would that actually mean one needs to buy a different brand of graphics 
card?

Referring to bug reports, I experienced no crashes, no segfaults, no
compiz issues, nothing disappeared e.g. the launcher, only this broken
graphics only on Unity items, as my last screenshot was supposed to
show. As mentioned in the opening post, other applications like Nautilus
or anything else except Unity items are fine.

Referring to your other suggestions and the link to 'ask ubuntu' these are 
quote:
"Following info is obsolete"

And this bug report says the mesa issue is fixed.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1735594

Xorg.log was already attached when uploading the bug report.

In addition the already uploaded file apt-history says:
libegl1-mesa:amd64 (17.2.4-0ubuntu1~16.04.4, 17.2.8-0ubuntu0~16.04.1)

Thank you, but I don't need performance tweaks, I'd rather like this bug to be 
fixed.
I did not make any changes to my system, only regular updating and it messed up 
my unity graphics on an LTS - no more no less.
