[SOLVED] KDE buggy desktop effects in OpenGL

Hello, I've been using gnome as my desktop environment for a while now and I decided to give KDE a try once again, but I'm having some issues.

Everything was perfect:

But I noticed that whenever I snap a window to any side of the screen and the stretching effect is displayed this happens:

And If I go back to a small window:

Now, as soon as I click elsewhere those black/invisible boxes are gone.

As you can see I checked under system settings >> desktop effects >> advanced and, if I change the Compositing Type to Xrenderer the problems are gone, but as you can imagine that is not ideal, this ONLY happens when I select ANY version of OpenGL as the Compositing Type.

I use the proprietary AMD drivers for my HD 6770, I think this problem might have something to do with that.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Solved after the latest Catalyst update (13.11-1).
However something else is broken now...
