Comment 0 for bug 1072206

Ubuntu 12.10 64bit (updated from 12.04) / NVIDIA GeForce 8 proprietary driver.

This bug happens to me from 12.04 from some update I think.
It appears mostly when I open a new application and only ocassionally.
As temporary "solution" creating some other event like opening Unity dash or opening some next window, etc. fix it. Then window content is refreshed and I can see all correctly.
Same with stable and experimental nvidia drivers.

Screenshot of this bug is attached.
