Binary package hint: compiz

The attached screenshots show corrupted display i'm encountering randomly when using my computer. Frequency of glitches is high, especially when using epiphany, or by cycling the window menus.

My setup used to work fine a few weeks ago.

I've created a new test account, restarted the x server, and logged in the test account. The glitches are still present.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release?

In case that you experience the same problem with the latest Ubuntu release, could you please add your ~/.xsession-errors, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of lspci -vvnn to your bug report as separate attachments? For other debugging instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCompiz. Thanks in advance.
