Sorry folks, but as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 I'm marking this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the 16.04 development cycle.

Symptoms : At times, especially when system is under heavy CPU load (which can be noticed by the fact that the current window becomes "dark"), windows borders and Unity top bar and/or laucher starts blinking/flashing in rectangular shape, in a very speedy and ugly way. Usually things resume to normal after some seconds or tens of seconds, when CPU load goes back to normal. This didn't happpen previously, so this is a regression. As far as I can tell, I have started noticing this after the time where Mesa broke Intel graphics then was fixed again (during Beta 1), so this bug might well relate to Mesa.
