unity - Why are my launcher and panel all glitchy when I open dash since updating my nVidia drivers?

enter image description here


As you can see in the image, launcher and my panel look a bit glitchy when I open dash. I have used unity-tweak-tool to set the transparency to static blur on dash, and this always worked in the past. I'm not sure what graphics drivers I was before, it was just whatever was installed by default after installing Ubuntu. Since updating to the Nvidia binary proprietary drivers (v331.38) every else has worked fine except things getting a bit glitchy when I open dash.


Does anyone recognize this kind of glitch?
