Greetings, I've got an Intel NUC (mini computer) on which I installed Loki. Works excellently without any fiddling. I do have graphical issues with programs that I install outside of the "Elementary Ecosystem" if you will. Like Google Chrome. My mouse starts to occiasionally trail and flicker when it's over the chrome interface, especially when it's doing something like opening a website or a tab. I'm seeing the same issues in different program's like InSync. Is this a know issue, and is there a fix?
Try disable hardware acceleration in chrome: Settings > Advance Settings > System > uncheck the hardware acceleration
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Disabling hardware acceleration introduces all sorts of dodgy problems with, most obviously, Youtube video playback like stutter and tearing. Not really an option IMO. I'd also reiterate the problem doesn't solely exist in Chrome, GIMP for example also shows these glitches, i'm personally more inclined to look for an issue on the OS side.

This is funny to me because I've tried a whole bunch of distro's before I chose to settle on this one, but regardless: I've applied the following line to my /etc/environment file. Code (Text): CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling After a reboot the issue seems fixed with no ill side effect's i've noticed so far...
