Comment 0 for bug 945933

Yesterday I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 beta to my harddrive for testing. I found that the workspace switcher in Unity 3D produces a lot of graphical glitches when moving around windows from one to another workspace. It makes unity feel very buggy.

I have made a Youtube video with my Android phone to record the problem; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUtdVsj8FKc&

I am using an Nvidia card and the current proprietary Nividia drives. I also tried gnome-shell to see if it gives me the same kind of glitches, but it doesn't.
