[Bug 1294762] [NEW] Blur effect on whole screen

 

Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 14.04, Compiz seems to apply a blur effect on the whole
screen. Fresh updated display areas get transitional blurrier.

Behavior applies to the Unity Desktop and all desktop apps like Chrome,
the Terminal, Steam Client but not on OpenGL games or Flash content and
affects window borders, texts, images and all UI elements except the
mouse cursor. -> see attachment

Nvidia proprietary drivers are in use.
