[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

I saw this problem in the recent xorg-edgers, and just purged the ppa, too. The ppa page has this issue listed now, at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa :

  July 13th: Mesa currently has problems with unity where the launcher icons are invisible, it's suggested to hold mesa back to the 0529 version, stop using this PPA, or use another session such as gnome or unity-2d until it is fixed.

So, they're aware of it. But I don't really know whether the maintainers would prefer to keep or close this bug report.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

Ah, this has been reported as bug 1024768; the reporter there just didn't state that they were using xorg-edgers. I still don't know whether we need open Launchpad bugs for xorg-edgers issues, but I'll dupe this one to that one, and leave it at that for now. Thanks.
