Unity-2d flickering in Dash and Launcher with fglrx when use_opengl enabled

[Łukasz Zemczak]

When the compositing manager in metacity is enabled, the Dash and Launcher are flickering. The Dash, when opened, is flickering ("blinking") constantly - and the Launcher is flickering during any animation. This makes unity-2d hard-to-use on fglrx.

This might have been around for a longer time, since I remember it being here around 1-2 months ago.

I see the warning:

unity-2d-shell: [WARNING] QGLShader::link: "Vertex shader(s) linked, fragment shader(s) linked.

in your .xsession-errors output. Can you give us the output with OpenGL disabled please?

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

I need to correct something - it seems that with opengl disabled there is no flickering, sorry about that. It seems a session relog was necessary after modifying the DConf setting. I'm attaching the xsession-errors for disabled OpenGL. But both Launcher and Dash seem to be fine.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is still an issue for me which renders unity completely unusable for me

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

If you are still experiencing this bug, please set its status back to "confirmed".
