Confirming this, using a Dell Latitude E5510 with Intel HD Graphics (on- chip), together with a docking station PR02X and a two-monitor-setup (2x BenQ GW2460, 1920x1080, DVI).
The problem occurs most of the time when scrolling in a full screen application on the left screen using the scroll bar (click the bar and move the mouse) while the mouse coursor leaves the screen during the scroll. This gives me a flackering or one of the screen goes black with a little random noise on the leftest ~50 pixels of the screen. This issue is new to me after upgrading from 14.04 with latest kernel 4.2 patches to 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0-28-generic. This issue is a regression as I'm still using exactly the same hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553503 Title: multi monitors - black flashes or black screen when the mouse cursor leaves a monitor Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When the mouse cursor leaves one of the screens, there is either : - no problem - the screen becomes black just below the position of the cursor and instantly comes back to normal. - the screen becomes entirely black with some random colored pixels flickering on the far left of the screen. I have to move the cursor to the black screen, otherwise it stays black. It happens on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 Beta and Ubuntu Mate 16.04 Beta. I have tested with other distributions (Debian Jessie and Fedora) and everything is fine. Hardware : Intel Ironlake (Thinkpad X201) with an external monitor plugged in.
