** Description changed: + == Impact == + + UI flicker in some cases. + + == Test cases = + When Unity UI elements - the alt-tab switcher, or the top bar shadow - are above an unresponsive window, the portion of the Unity elements which are above the window flicker in and out of view. + + == Regression potential == + + Low, single line marking damage to the nux for drawing more often. + + --- Although the attached video doesn't show it, this behaviour still occurs if the unresponsive window is not visible - the Unity elements over where it is still flicker.
