2018-04-24 05:07:48 Chris Guiver description -- BACKGROUND info -- (ie. skip!) I upgraded to 18.04 last night from 17.10 (Ubuntu with GNOME, but also XFCE & MATE DEsktops were installed). I logged in last night & noticed nothing unusual (slow login, crash & apport bug report made [duplicate]). Otherwise upgrade was perfect. Last night I only used MATE. -- END background Today I logged into GNOME (first login since upgrade), my screen config was changed (as if side-by-side) so I altered to match my config - and now on top (secondary) screen left side of screen I get this few pixel wide graphic 'bar' type glitch. It alters with screen-draws; having minimal movement is nothing on screen is drawing. If you move mouse it jumps more, if you move windows the movement is even more - when I start music (audacious) which has a graphic audio metre (dancing with music) I get lots of activity on the glitch-bar. If I move audacious below (top) screen it still acts as if on screen (my screen placement i think is reason for this), but if I minimize the window the glitch has minimal movement, likewise if I move audacious to lower (primary) screen and move the bar off display. As stated, the vertical-graphic-lines-glitch appears to be related to movement or redrawing of stuff on screen. If I stop music and have ~everything static but type into the `hexchat` screen on the bottom, the vertical-graphic-lines-glitch jumps on each keypress (or its being written to screen). If i hit random keys quickly the jumping movement is faster than slow keypresses If I make no movements, glitch still has movement; maybe 2-4 moves per second., but a fraction of the 'jumps' (or movement) of when there is graphic movement. OF NOTE: As I type this into chromium, the 'glitch' is the smallest its been and NOT moving to each keystroke which is different behavior to terms, hexchat etc. This behavior is only evident in GNOME. guiverc@d960-ubu2:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

It appears to dance when something moves on the screen (eg. cursor movement, or audio-metre bars on mp3 player (audacious). Moving the cursor alone causes minimal 'dance' in the glitch, moving a window around causes a lot higher-faster dance in the glitch. When I start music (audacious) with the audio metre (dancing with music) I get lots of activity on the glitch-bar; if music is stopped (audio-metre is static) glitch becomes minimal. If I move audacious below screen (or out of display) screen it still acts as if on screen (my screen placement i think is reason for this; top right 1/3 of screen is to right of below screen; left 1/3 of bottom screen is to left top screen), but if I minimize the window the glitch has minimal movement, likewise if I move audacious to lower (primary) screen and move the bar off display.
