[Bug 983057] Re: Activating alpha blur in CCSM makes notifications unreadable

 

What is more, and IMO it is compiz-related as well, turning plugins on
and off a few times make Compiz crash, and the only way to make system
usable again is to switch to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and restart LightDM
from there (Alt+F2 does not work, so I can't open terminal and use
compiz --replace).

** Description changed:

  Under 12.04 ticking "alpha blur" checkbox in CCSM's Blur settings make
  notifications' background completely transparent, thus unreadable.
  Attached screenshots should clearly show how does it look like.

+ (just 4xBilinear).
