Is this when you open the screen from sleep? If so close the lid again and wait until it goes back to sleep and then open the lid again...Not a solution but a workaround...
I find this can happen if you do not open the lid enough when waking it from sleep and then it closes again quickly...so that in effect you are opening the lid twice in succession quickly...putting it to sleep again with the lid works for me when this crops up but otherwise don't have it... It may be related to your energy savings settings? How is your put your monitor to sleep setting...
