Quicklists and tooltips sometimes lose their blur

[Alan Morgan]

Normally, quicklists and the labels of launcher icons that appear when hovering over the icons are dark. However, they are occasionally rendered as shown in my attached screenshot. This has happened five times in under two hours of heavy quicklist use. It is not visually appealing and loses clarity due to there possibly being text below.

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

Thank you for your bug report. Do you use a full screen dash?

There is a video on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/985851/+attachment/3094482/+files/New%20bug.webm showing the issue

[Alan Morgan (alanmorgan)]

I do use a full-screen dash.

[Stéphane Guillou (stephane-guillou)]

I confirm this on my netbook (Samsung N310).
It only occurs when the Dash is open and fullscreen.

[Simeon (simeon5)]

I can confirm this. It only happens if Dash is fullscreen.

Hey Andrea, do you think you could have a look to this bug as well when you get some free time?

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

@Sebastien Yes :)

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Sounds related to bug 981548.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Maybe there's some connection between these bugs and #934102 ?

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Does this happen in Ubuntu 12.10 as well, or only in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

...and since the last duplicate is from before Ubuntu 12.04 LTS final release, are you still able to reproduce this on 12.04 LTS?

[Alan Morgan (alanmorgan)]

I am not able to reproduce this in an up-to-date 12.04, or 12.10.

[Stéphane Guillou (stephane-guillou)]

I am able to reproduce this same problem on my up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 32 bits.

[Alan Morgan (alanmorgan)]

I have begun experiencing it on an up-to-date 12.04 (64 bit), but not in 12.10.

[Adolfo Jayme (fitojb)]

Yeah, this seems Precise-specific. It isn't reproducible neither in Quantal nor Raring.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

not likely to see a precise SRU at this point, closing
