** Description changed:

- 
  -- BACKGROUND info --  (ie. skip!)
  I upgraded to 18.04 last night from 17.10 (Ubuntu with GNOME, but also XFCE & 
MATE DEsktops were installed).  I logged in last night & noticed nothing 
unusual (slow login, crash & apport bug report made [duplicate]). Otherwise 
upgrade was perfect. Last night I only used MATE.
  -- END background
  
- Today I logged into GNOME (first login since upgrade), my screen config
- was changed (as if side-by-side) so I altered to match my config - and
- now on top (secondary) screen left side of screen I get this few pixel
- wide graphic 'bar' type glitch.
+ Today I logged into GNOME (first login since upgrade), my screen
+ positional config was changed (as if side-by-side) so I altered to match
+ my config - and now on top (secondary) screen left side of screen I get
+ this few pixel wide graphic 'bar' type glitch.
  
- It alters with screen-draws; having minimal movement is nothing on
- screen is drawing.  If you move mouse it jumps more, if you move windows
- the movement is even more - when I start music (audacious) which has a
- graphic audio metre (dancing with music) I get lots of activity on the
- glitch-bar.
+ It appears to dance when something moves on the screen (eg. cursor
+ movement, or audio-metre bars on mp3 player (audacious). Moving the
+ cursor alone causes minimal 'dance' in the glitch, moving a window
+ around causes a lot higher-faster dance in the glitch. When I start
+ music (audacious) with the audio metre (dancing with music) I get lots
+ of activity on the glitch-bar; if music is stopped (audio-metre is
+ static) glitch becomes minimal.
  
- If I move audacious below (top) screen it still acts as if on screen (my
- screen placement i think is reason for this), but if I minimize the
- window the glitch has minimal movement, likewise if I move audacious to
- lower (primary) screen and move the bar off display.
+ If I move audacious below screen (or out of display) screen it still
+ acts as if on screen (my screen placement i think is reason for this;
+ top right 1/3 of screen is to right of below screen; left 1/3 of bottom
+ screen is to left top screen), but if I minimize the window the glitch
+ has minimal movement, likewise if I move audacious to lower (primary)
+ screen and move the bar off display.
  
  As stated, the vertical-graphic-lines-glitch appears to be related to
  movement or redrawing of stuff on screen.  If I stop music and have
  ~everything static but type into the `hexchat` screen on the bottom, the
  vertical-graphic-lines-glitch jumps on each keypress (or its being
  written to screen).  If i hit random keys quickly the jumping movement
  is faster than slow keypresses
  
  If I make no movements, glitch still has movement; maybe 2-4 moves per
  second., but a fraction of the 'jumps' (or movement) of when there is
  graphic movement.
  
  OF NOTE:  As I type this into chromium, the 'glitch' is the smallest its
  been and NOT moving to each keystroke which is different behavior to
- terms, hexchat etc.
+ terms, hexchat etc.  When I first login, its not evident, it takes a few
+ minutes to become visible.
  
- This behavior is only evident in GNOME.
+ This behavior is only evident in GNOME (on X)
