>>Daniel I found a clue about the blinking with unity 6.0, nux 3.0, and compiz 0.9.8 in Precise
First, I tried making a new user to see if the desktop was affected. It wasn't, but I noticed another problem: windows cannot full-screen. I tested firefox (f11) and totem (double click or f11). Both applications freeze the current viewport and will not enter full-screen, but can be recovered by exiting full-screen. Next, I started crawling through ccsm, trying each and every button. In Desktop Cube -> Transparent Cube -> Opacity When Not Rotating: The default value is 100%, at which Unity stops blinking and windows cannot full-screen. At any value less than 100%, Unity will start blinking and windows can full-screen. So, there's a connection between the blinking, cube opacity, and full- screen. Any idea what it might be? Maybe this needs a new bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734908 Title: Unity is visible on top of fullscreen apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/734908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
