Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

When I click the Backgrounds tab to select a wallpaper, clicking individual wallpapers does not work. I have a custom wallpaper right now which I selected through other means, but even when I click the default wallpapers nothing happens. The first time the window flashes a bit, but after that it's as though clicking the buttons does nothing. The window isn't unresponsive - I can still change tabs easily.

I am experiencing the same problem. CPU and memory usage also spikes when viewing.
