visual glitch on launcher icons after mutter / unity has been running for some time

[Sameer Morar]

Binary package hint: unity

After unity or mutter has been running for some time, a horizontal line appears across some of the launcher icons.

This can be observed by comparing the left launcher to the right launcher in the attached screenshot. The left launcher was screen captured after unity had been running for a few hours, while the right launcher was screen captured immediately after unity reloaded after a killall mutter command was issued.
In this case, the affected icons are: Banshee, Gwibber and Nautilus

Thanks for reporting this bug and help to make ubuntu better.

I'm pretty this bug has already been reporting, but I can't find it anymore, just marking it as triaged as it's pretty easy to reproduce.

Thanks Omer! I was desperately looking for it :)
I added shadow to the other bug report for more match!
