Affects me, my details: Ubuntu 12.04.5, NVidia 340.58 64-bit, card is
NVS 310

For me, minimizing and restoring does NOT fix the issue, but resizing
the windows fixes the issue. Unfortunately, some windows are not
resizeable.

Happens mostly to VirtualBox and Wine - it used to happen to Chrome a
lot, but hasn't recently. Maybe there's a workaround that Chrome found.

Title:
  Applications occasionally stop refreshing the window, with NVidia
  Graphics

Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Occasionally, when there are multiple programs open, some
  applications, like Chromium and Google-Earth, stop refreshing window
  and it seems to be frozen. At this point we can not switch tabs, pages
  are static, the text does not scroll. Apparently the window is
  unresponsive, but when we minimize/maximize/restore the window, the
  image is correctly updated.

  For example, in Google Chrome when the issue occurs, if another tab is
  clicked, no apparent effect occurs and the tab is not switched. If we
  click on a link on the page, the system will apparently not follow the
  link. But if we minimize/restore the window, the new page or the
  clicked tab is showed properly.

  Close other applications, maximize/minimize/restore/resize the window,
  sometimes solves the problem.
