Public bug reported: I'm noticing some random screen flickering since 16.10 upgrade. Something like every 10 minutes, mainly on the secondary monitor (hdmi connected), but sometimes on the laptop display too.
Not sure if it's related, but when using LibreOffice Impress to display presentations on the secondary display the problem worsens, but it's only flickering in parts of the display, not all.
