Bug Description

On Kubuntu 15.04, if I go from the KDE desktop to ctrl-alt-f1, text console, and then ctrl-alt-f7 back to KDE desktop, there is about a 5% chance that the screen is completely messed up, see triangles of one window being overlayed by bits and pieces and triangles of other windows, and pieces of text from browsers or texst editors stretched and warped flashing over the screen, appearing and disappearing..

Its like looking at random fragments of the video memory that change every second.. I'm using NVIDIA card "NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 860M] (rev a2)" with the nvidia driver installed through the KDE driver update program

I'm having a similar problem since upgrading to 15.04 with screen fragmentation, but just in general, not occasioned by any particular trigger. Just clicking on a menu item is enough to set it off.
