Sorry folks, but as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 I'm marking
this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now
unsupported.  If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release
please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the
16.04 development cycle.

Title:
  [Regression] Flashing-blinking-fuzzy windows border

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Already seen on 3 different machines - so confirming bug immedately -
  2 having Intel graphics, and one NVidia graphics, so this is probably
  not graphics card specific.

  Symptoms : At times, especially when system is under heavy CPU load
  (which can be noticed by the fact that the current window becomes
  "dark"), windows borders and Unity top bar and/or laucher starts
  blinking/flashing in rectangular shape, in a very speedy and ugly way.

  Usually things resume to normal after some seconds or tens of seconds,
  when CPU load goes back to normal.

  This didn't happpen previously, so this is a regression.

  As far as I can tell, I have started noticing this after the time
  where Mesa broke Intel graphics then was fixed again (during Beta 1),
  so this bug might well relate to Mesa.
