I was rather nervous about doing this. However, it is done. I shall endeavour to try and remember to report its success or failure in resolving the bug. Thank you for your response.

As per https://us.msi.com/product/motherboard/support/X99A-SLI-PLUS.html #down-bios an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (1.9). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Only solution I found was a reboot, which can be inconvenient. Might be related to Java applications somehow and their borders? P.S.
