Hi.

I have this problem on two computers with amd gpu's.

Live usb or fully installed and updated doesn't make any difference.

I first noticed when i made the update fromn 3.9 (HWE) to 4.4.

After the update i tried to select the kernel 3.9, but the problem was now also present on the older kernel.

I also tried the opacity trick on ccsm, but it didn't work.

Thanks and sorry for my English.
