When the bug occurs, everything freezes the moment I click on the symbol in the bottom notification bar and after a few seconds the whole screen shows nothing but random noise. The computer then has to be forced to restart via power button. Strg+Alt+F1 or similar does not have any effect. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell Studio notebook with AMD graphics chip, however without AMD drivers. I think the bug only occured while using an external display via HDMI.
