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.

Bug description:
  [Description]
  When hovering over icons on unity or using an application which does a lot of re-drawing there is significant flickering and graphic corruption. This only happens in 12.10 downgrading to 12.04 fixes the issue. 

  [Work Around]
  unity --replace sometimes fixes the issue (ie you have to do it two or three times, but eventually it does fix it and the issues doesn't re-appear for that desktop session). 

  [Easiest way to force the flicker]
  I have found the easiest way to force a flicker is to drag a window frame to the right hand side of the screen so the yellow bounding box appears on the right half of the screen, when this happens a lot of flickering occurs. 

  [Possibly duplicates]
  I've found a few bugs with similar problems, however these are for different versions so wasn't sure if they were duplicates or not bug #963093 ; bug #1059467
