[Sir Sword <fartsword@xxxxxxx>]

Is there any chance of this patch getting officially released for 14.04,
considering 14.04 is supposed to be the stable release that people can
standardize on?  For many people this bug makes 14.04 at best annoying,
or at worst unusable.  I think it would be difficult to recommend 14.04
to a friend or a business and then have to turn around and explain to
them the strange screen flickering bug.

Title:
  [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse

Status in Compiz:
  Triaged
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Nvidia 334.21 makes the UI jearky, googled and found this on Nvidia
  forums:

  "This looks like a problem caused by the system compositor not
  properly waiting for X rendering to finish before performing OpenGL
  rendering in response. The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension was
  designed to solve this problem, but it looks like cogl (the back-end
  library used by GNOME's compositor) doesn't use it yet. "
