[Bug 606606] [NEW] Latest nvidia driver causes appearance problems

 

Public bug reported:

With nvidia driver version 256.35 I experienced some problems with the
default user interface. I run into this both with Lucid (drivers
upgraded from xorg edgers packages, rollback fixes the problem) and
Maverick (in which the driver is default). Two screenshots attached. You
can see the problems with highlighted application in the lower panel and
with buttons and menu separators.
