Public bug reported:
This is now the 3 rd time to reinstall 15.10. Previously the 15.04 version has
been re-installed.
Under 15.04 the problem (bug) was restricted to the desktop background image in
that after a few days and new updates loaded the screen became corrupted with
the appearance of a view like looking through opaque reed glass. The blame was
put on 'Variety' which was in use. Peter Levi terms this problem a 'low key
bug'? It makes no difference whether 'Variety' is in use or not
As the problem (bug) only affected the desktop background then it was workable.
The new release of 15.10 was hoped to iron out the problem, but once again
after receiving updates corruption began, and is much more severe in that icons
become distorted when the mouse passes over them sections of text work become
a. invisible or b. distorted to be unreadable.
To date I have re-installed 15.10 four times. Everything is stable until I
begin to accept updates. and the corruption begins.
I have brought up this problem before since 23 rd October.
I cannot be the only individual suffering from this problem. I have two
machines and the results are the same on both. I have changed monitors to no
avail.
The programme was re-installed yesterday and is stable without any updates.
I run also windows 10 on this machine but have experienced no problems with
display or documents text/ icons
