Bug Description

Regression in Ubuntu 12.04:
On random occasions I find that the selection box around panel items (menu titles or indicator icons) is drawn incorrectly, with white borders. Screenshot attached.

Still happening. Initially I thought it was something I might have caused in my hacking, but here's a video showing the bug still occurring with standard precise packages.

Here's a video of a very similar issue happening with just a single menu item ("Displays...").

I've now seen this bug with intel and nvidia (nouveau). I think rendering of those tabs is done entirely in software, so the graphics driver is probably not a factor.

Same problem here on all my installtions of ubuntu 12.04 (every system use an intel-based graphic card).

Will this ever be fixed for 12.04? I don't see this on 13.04, but 12.04 with all updates is still *very* badly effected by this with intel graphics. This bug happens very often and makes for an extremely unpolished experience with these graphical artifacts all over the panel...
