linuxmint/Cinnamon — Issue #324: Menu and graphics become unreadable
Author: mderoy

State: open

This appears to happen almost randomly, but the bar will glitch out and disappear for a few seconds, then reappear as this http://i.imgur.com/XLbG5.png I could not show a picture of the menu, but it has the same issue. All of the text and icons become random blocks of color. The only way to fix it is to restart cinnamon with cinnamon --replace. I've added the terminal output from cinnamon
