Public bug reported: Often times I am seeing this visual glitch with Unity8. It is characterized by a noticeable screen flicker (I estimate at ~20hz). It is most easily reproduced by doing a right-edge swipe when you are already looking at the last application (eg, can't go back any farther), however it can also be caused by AP tests and other random UI fiddling.
Once it starts happening, the UI becomes unresponsive. The attached video doesn't do it great justice, because the flicker just blurs into a dimming effect. but when you see the screen go dim in this video, what's really happening is this crazy flickering. ** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical Status: New ** Attachment added: "unity.mp4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240229/+attachment/3878818/+files/unity.mp4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240229 Title: The dreaded black flicker OF DEATH!
