WORKAROUND:
Switch to a different VT (other than X or Mir) before switching to Mir. That will avoid triggering the bug. It only happens if you're coming from the X VT.

Title:
  Heavy black flickering with Intel graphics after VT switching from X

Status in Mir:
  Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After running mir_demo_server on VT 1, when I switch to VT 7 then back to VT 1, the demo server really flickers black quite a lot (entire screen, pointer included). I'm not sure, but I also upgraded my kernel to 3.18.2-031802-generic at the same time, if it's because of that, please mark invalid.
