I have the same problem in the top panel, but using the buttons on it doesn't affect at all. I have MyUnity and CompizConfig installed, and sometimes adjusting again the opacity on the top panel works. And when I put the transparency in 100% the top panel updates okay.
The bug on my case only appears if the transparency is not 100% or 0%. I added an video showing the bug. ** Attachment added: "top panel transparency update bug video" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/889441/+attachment/2687883/+files/top%20panel%20transparency%20update%20bug.ogv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889441 Title: Panel seems to not autoupdate itself?!
