When other applications show top-window notifications (like Skype notifications or GNOME bubble that shows on sound volume change), it causes TF2 to not render itself properly. For a short amount of time, screen becomes black. This bug does not occur in windowed mode.
Steps to represent:

  1. Launch TF2 and wait till it loads.
  2. Press Volume Up/Volume Down keyboard keys.
