Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

For example in the attachment in Firefox you can see a small white line in both left and right of the tab list. It happens after I boot the system and start applications for the first time. Another example Nautilus shows a white line at the bottom of the screen(runs the whole length of the screen). After I focus on another application and then focus back, it returns to normal and everything looks fine but it's initially annoying. I'll post more screenshots when I'll encounter the issue again.

Hey sebastian-bugiu,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

In 11.10 it seems solved but in 11.04 I don't know since I upgraded the day Oneiric was launched. But until I upgraded the bug was still there.
