Hallo
I am blaming nouveau or linux as the bug is reproducible only on the external monitor.
Reassigning.
Best regards

Title:
  System tray/top panel on 2nd monitor flashes with dash activated on
  primary monitor.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello friends. I stumbled across a graphical issue that I wanted to
  report. I was able to duplicate this on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS as well as
  Ubuntu 15.04 with all of the updates done on both systems as of today.
  Both systems also vary quite a bit in hardware (l14.04.3 system =
  Latitude 7440 laptop with Intel graphics, 15.04 system = desktop with
  Intel CPU and Nvidia 9600GT/Nouveau drivers).

  I created a screencast of the issue happening. Please note this
  screencast is of my 2nd monitor only.

  To reproduce (which can sometimes be a little inconsistent, though a
  matter of 60 seconds I was able to replicate it -- then once it
  happens it seems hard to ignore), have a couple windows on each
  monitor. In my case, I felt as though I noticed the issue more
  frequently with Firefox, though I did replicate it with Libre Office
  as well.

  Click on the 2nd display to activate it as the active monitor. Move
  the cursor to the 1st monitor, but do not click anywhere. Press the
  super key to activate the dash. That's it. The dash seems to follow
  the cursor and open on the monitor the cursor resides in, regardless
  of where you last clicked. With the second monitor "active" (via a
  prior click) but the dash opening on the first monitor via keyboard
  shortcut, it seems to instigate the issue. Pending that you have a few
  windows open, it won't take long to replicate what you see in the
  video. In the video, all I did on the 1st display (what's not seen) is
  move the cursor to that monitor and press the super key.

  Thank you for your hard work, time, and energy!
