Screenshot of the pixelated borders. Edit (31.8 KiB, image/png)

I have attached a screenshot of the behaviour: it happens with all the icons, I have just picked Firefox to demonstrate. The original reporter has reported it using the free drivers (I guess that means open-source Xorg driver), I have an AMD GPU with Catalyst blob driver, and it also shows this issue, so it might be something not caused by the video drivers, or at least visible with multiple drivers.

@Joe Liau: what kind of GPU do you have? Could you please run 'apport-collect 1072753' from a terminal?
