It would be worth re-fetching again now, and checking if this still occurs with the latest fixes I've applied. It is just possible that the incorrect state I had set which resulted in missing crosshair attached objects caused a problem. Could you send me the contents of the output of the command: glxinfo and a copy of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log This is to identify exactly what graphics card and driver you are using. I have certainly heard (and seen) reports of a similar sounding artefact from one other Intel GPU based machine. I don't see it here on mine, but I'd love to get to the bottom of it. Since I can get physical access to the other laptop this was reported on, if you could send a video to confirm we're looking at the same kind of bug, I might be able to do some tracing and debug work here - perhaps enough to send the Intel driver developers a clueful bug report to get their driver fixed (assuming it is a driver issue).
