Thank you for your bug report, that doesn't seem an gnome-control-center issue. Does it happen every time? What video driver do you use? Could you add your Xorg.0.log(.old) to the bug report and you dmesg/syslog after getting the issue?

[primefalcon (primefalcon)]

ok seems I can only post one attachment per comment so heres the Xorg.0.log

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

It seems like a nouveau issue, could you try if you get the same problems if you use the nvidia binary drivers? (you can active those from software-properties-gtk -> drivers tab)

system seems to agree..

I can duplicate this on the onboard graphics of A Gigabyte M61P-S3 with a:

Switching to the proprietary driver was a good workaround for me.
