Luke,

two things:

1.) I also have that issue, but on a Debian system. Todays up-to-date
sid, but having it since half a year or so. Very annoying.

2.) The nvidia drivers are NOT open source. Fixing of this bug solely
depends on the mercy of NVIDIA. This sucks and this is why this
proprietary crap sucks. If it were open source, Ubuntu or Debian or
other people could help you. Now they can't. Blame it on NVIDIA. (Or,
indirectly, on Ubuntu, for including this crap. By not including it, the
pressure on NVIDIA would be higher to release the stuff as open source,
which would have ultimately already fixed this issue. For all of us.)
