Public bug reported: I have fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 like two weeks ago or something. Today I have updated packages: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
I have noticed compiz and other packages updated and from article http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/new-unity-desktop-update-now- available I have seen it is now possible to turn on "low graphic mode" which is excellent idea for my 14-years old 32-bit laptop. I did: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity lowgfx true logged off and logged back in. When I press Super key Dash is launched, but display is totally useless way too transparent. See print screen. I have never had such a problem. Turning low graphic mode off and this problem disappears. P.S. I also have the problem with Alt+Tab switcher now background in switcher is white (if white background) it looks the same transparent problem. I turn off low graphic mode, switcher is still white. This is new problem after today Ubuntu update.
