Public bug reported:

When I adjust the brightness or volume using the keyboard media buttons during full screen video playback, the screen flickers. This happens in both Vlc and the default Videos application. Is there a fix for this? I am using ubuntu 15.04 with ati catalyst 15.20.
this doesnt happen when i am not using fullscreen playback. its probably associated with the notifications that come up on pressing the volume or brightness buttons.
