Green flashes when playing video with VLC and Compiz enabled [Ubuntu 15.10 and Ubuntu MATE 15.10]

[Marco Giannini]

When I play video in VLC and Compiz enabled the screen will flash green ( for few seconds ) when I move the mouse, or turn up the volume with the media keys .
The problem started with Ubuntu 15.10 and also occurs on Ubuntu 15.10 with Compiz enabled MATE.
I use the nvidia driver. I tried it with the driver 304 and the driver 352 but the problem persists.

I has the same issue. Had found something similar out there http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/03/fix-for-flickering-fullscreen-application-with-compiz/

open "compizconfig"
go general -> composite
uncheck "unredirect fullscreen windows" flag
or better fix line "unredirect match" changing "=Vlc" to "=vlc".

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

Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 with Vlc 2.2.5. I'm also use Nvidia driver, version 370. Workaround doesn't fix issue.
