[Problem]
On RS880 solid grey rectangles appear over icon text and window borders in some applications in a compositing environment, namely Unity's launcher. Unity developers are able to reproduce this and say it is a video driver / mesa issue.
[Original Description]
on current natty, clicking the Ubuntu button in the top left shows a window with graphical corruption as shown in the attached screenshot. sometimes there are solid grey rectangles over the icon text too.
