it happens to fast to catch a screen shot like for example when i go to open a menu like places when it goes to open it shows all kinda of weird colors inside the window before it open it only happens for a split second though just enough to annoy you

This just started to happen to me a couple of days ago. Karmic with Intel and Compiz. Sometimes I'll hover over a link or a scrollbar and it will be a small black box with red and what looks like text maybe. It lasts milliseconds but is very odd indeed. There's been issues with artifacts on the screen but this is different. Seems to be spawned when the mouse cursor changes.

I used recordmydesktop and it did not show the glitches. It's clearly hardware or display driver related.
