Public bug reported:

I'm on 16.04, using a laptop with Nvidia Optimus (Nvidia driver installed, Intel card selected).
The problem also occurs in a guest session.
It didn't occur in 14.04.

Sometimes I see a black rectangle appear for a very brief moment (a flash).
Horizontally, the rectangle occupies the whole screen.
Vertically, the rectangle seems to start in the mouse cursor and ends in the bottom of the screen.

The easiest way to reproduce the bug is to open a Gnome terminal, move
the mouse cursor inside the window and press Alt+Backspace repeatedly.
