Bug Description

Sometimes when hovering over an icon in the unity launcher, the icon labels are 'invisible'.
I can see the outline though, or at least part of it.
I've attached a screenshot so you know what I mean.

Chauncellor, I think so. I don't recall this issue until recently.
Were there any changes to Unity recently that could have caused this issue?

Yep. Just making sure. This is a regression. This is a duplicate of bug 1034164, then. Thanks for the bug report, this'll be fixed at some point in an update.

Thanks again!
