running "System Settings" app, shifts screen

[Stephen Lawrence]

On starting "System Settings" app, the screen blanks for 1 second then reappears shifted left (by half an icon width) - or, if it was already shifted left, shifted back again to the correct position

On booting the system, screen alternately comes up OK / shifted

[Also, running various things causes screen to blank - display often not re-appearing (keyboard locks) until the power button is pressed - dunno if related but appeared at same time with 14.04 upgrade]

These screen problems started occuring in 14.04 and were not present in 13.10

Joseph,

tested with

Linux user-Inspiron-545 3.15.0-031500rc7-generic #201405251935 SMP Sun May
25 23:57:37 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

problem remains

this was not version rc5, but I am assuming rc7 is OK

Stephen.
