I've made a backup of my data and formatted and reinstalled 12.10. After a fresh reinstall the problem seems to be solved. But after going into the software updater and updating all software the issue is back again. I've narrowed it down to being one of the Compiz updates that's causing the issue.
Currently I've updated everything except: compiz, compiz-core, compiz- gnome, compiz-plugins-default, libcompizconfig0, libdecoration0 and nux- tools All of these seemed to have something to do with graphics so leaving them out solves the issue. Any hope that there might be an update to the culprit in this list that's causing this issue? Sorry I couldn't narrow it down more, not the most technical buff. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070175 Title: Shutter shows black screen with overlay. Dash icons distorted when dragging. Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After updating to Ubuntu 12.10 whenever I try to use Shutter I just see a black screen with my cursor and the shutter overlay info. Also noticed that when I drag my icons from the taskbar (left side bar) they look a bit distorted. I've tried to deactivate the proprietary graphics drivers with no change. This all worked fine on Ubuntu 12.04. Any ideas? Using ATI HD6370M graphics.
