Public bug reported: The system kind of "freezes" randomly (opening Unity Dash, browsing with Firefox, opening LibreOffice). Moving the mouse or using keyboard shortcuts that result in a graphical reaction don't produce an immediate result but eventually an result at a later time (sometimes up to 5 or more minutes later). Sometimes there is also problems with the graphical output (parts of the screen become black). To get out of this "freeze" it helps to switch to a console (ctrl+alt+f1) which works almost immediately (sometimes takes a few seconds but faster than anything else), then switch back using ctrl+alt+f7. The system works as expected again.
This is on an Acer Aspire 4935G with NVIDIA graphics (proprietary driver).
