Daryl Hughes, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please advise on which specific unofficial nvidia
driver version you tested where this problem did not exist?

As well, would using an older nvidia driver version provide a WORKAROUND
as noted in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?
