Bug Description
I detected this silly glitch while using Unity fullscreen (Netbook mode).
Hardware reference can be found here: https:/
Steps to reproduce:
Put Unity on fullscreen (netbook) mode.
Open Nautilus just to have a referene background.
Push ALT to open the HUD.
The "blured" background of the HUD is not right, some parts are expanded vertically.
Screenshot:
TOP - shows how the background is supposed to be seen.
BOTTOM - shows how the background got rendered instead.
Details:
The effect can sometimes blink between the correct and the wrong visualization. This can happen on its own or related to focus. For example, it was imposibble to take a screenshot using print-screen, because the effect reverts to the "correct" condition while I push the key.
