Eric, what do you mean by "spotty"? Can you be more specific about the visual issues you have? How about screenshots of the areas you think look wrong. Thanks in advance.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I believe the bug is fixed with unity 3.6.8

[Eric Appleman (erappleman)]

I thought I had posted a screenshot....

And no, 3.6.8 doesn't fix it.

[Eric Appleman (erappleman)]

I stand corrected, 3.6.8 fixes it.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

yes this specific issue was fixed, so should I take it from the last comment
that the issue is fixed. (fixed for me)

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

static blur is fixed in Natty, though its not yet enabled by default, also there are some tweaks planned for it too per bug 750352
