Hey All,

Looking through some of the bug history, it seems this is specific to Nvidia and the proprietary driver. I'm thinking this is really a duplicate of bug #269904.

In that bug, there is a patch provided by Nvidia that hopefully fixes that issue. At this time, we cannot get that patch into Compiz proper due to some silly licensing issue, but I have made a PPA that has the fix incorporated. This PPA has packages for Precise, Trusty, and Utopic. If anyone would like to test this out and report your results, please add https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive/compiz-nvidia-refresh-test and give it a try.

I'm hoping that if we can get enough feedback that say this fixes the issue for many users, we can use that as leverage to get *something* done about getting the patch merged into Compiz.

Thanks!
