[Bug 881003] [NEW] Windows on same workspace flicker when switched between

 

Public bug reported:

This is an Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit machine upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04. When
switching between two windows on the same workspace under Unity (not
sure if it does the same under GNOME Shell yet), either through clicking
or using Alt+Tab, windows flicker during the switch. This issue did not
exist under 11.04, and is quite distracting.

Attached is a screen recording illustrating the issue. (Please ignore
the tearing, that is a separate issue filed as bug #713594.)
