Bug Description

I am using unity(compiz) on 12.04 with ATI HD7770 display card. fglrx-update and fglrx-amdcccle are installed. Multiple screens are connected and used.

If I have an application which keep updating its own window (like tail a log file in gnome-terminal, or playing youtube video in chromium), Unity(compiz) may incorrect update the window frame of another application.

Here is the versions of the packages:
fglrx-updates 2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1
fglrx-amdcccle-updates 2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1
compiz 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4
unity 5.16.0-0ubuntu1
