Lately, the first time I click an item on Unity panel that has open
instances of the application, my laptop hangs for a few seconds, then
flickers.  After, I get the Ubuntu Crash/Problem Notification tool.
This tool doesn't seem to let me cut/paste snippets from it, so
attaching the first section of it.  I always submit the info, so
hopefully this results in some fixes.

In reading through it, it notifies me that many of my compiz packages
are obsolete...

"You have some obsolete package version installed.  Please update...
compiz, compiz-core, compiz-gnome, compiz-plugins-default,..."

which I find odd, since I've upgraded to 14.04, and have done regular
updates.

Title:
  Unity launcher, top panel, and window titles flicker and disappear
  when clicking launcher for apps that have more than one instance
  running on it

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04, shortly after the
  launch, and things were working pretty good.  However, after a recent
  software update, the 14.04 Unity launcher, top panel, and window
  titles all flicker and disappear, when clicking the launcher for an
  application that has multiple instances running (multiple left array
  indicators next to launcher).

  The first time I click the launcher, the whole desktop flickers,
  blanks out, then comes back.  The second time, everything but window
  contents disappears.  In this case, the window contents are unusable,
  and I have to restart my laptop.  This has become quite disruptive to
  my work day.
