Bug Description

A few days ago, I started having this very nasty bug: when it crashes, the borders of windows, the window controls and other things related to compiz (I think) started to not work any more. I do not know why, but it forces me to log-out/restart and in some point it will occur again (cannot find the connection). Not sure when this started as I used the Intel graphics for a while, and I only discovered it when I switched back to nvidia graphics, for better performance.
See the screenshot. If you have any solution, please tell, this is a nogo :(

Same issue here - idententical problem.

Happens after upgrade of the nvidia driver this week. Occurs only when reactivating from suspend mode for me.

When I restart Ubuntu, there is a dump from XORG (attached as screenshot), but afterwards everything is fine.

Ubuntu 16.04

Greetings TK

Yes, it is the same for me.

It seems that `compiz --replace` fixes it until the driver will be bug free.

This is an unsupported release now. Please think to install the next LTS 'Bionic 18.04'
