I open Firefox and after some minutes using it, suddenly the screen
display is "visually damaged" by a lot of very thin horizontal white
lines. This began to happen after upgrading to Kubuntu 15.10 and someone
via IRC suggested me this workaround: Go to KDE System Settings ->
Display configuration -> Compositor -> Tearing prevention (vsync) = set
to 'never'; I did that and by fortune it worked!
After this bug is reviewed and solved, I would like to restore the
Tearing prevention (vsync) setting to "Automatic" again.
Thanks in advance for attending this.
