Hello,
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit yesterday. Sadly, I just noticed that when I hover my mouse on the launcher icons up and down, along the launcher, the text popup arrow displaying the name of the icon's program is often badly rendered, looking like a shadow or a broken popup. It's not just a matter of speed, if I leave the cursor over the icon, the text popup remains glitchy.
I have to say it looks bad, very unpolished, and I hope there's a way to have it fixed. I know it's fairly a cosmetic bug, but it's really disappointing and glitchy, not to mention Rhythmbox hiding the bottom end of the song's title because the font size is too big, but that's another story.
My PC is powered by an AMD Phenom quad-core CPU and ATI card. I've already installed proprietary ATI drivers, but it's not made any difference.
Ironically, if I take a screenshot of the broken onmouseover text popup, it first gets rendered correctly, then takes the shot.
[EDIT] I've seen that removing icons from the launcher so that it doesn't have to pile/expand them helps, since the text popup is displayed correctly. I think it has to do with the icon tiles animation
