Google Earth displays odd text

[Steven Willis]

For as long as I can remember, the medibuntu version of Google Earth has been displaying odd text on the right side of the viewer. This is specifically affecting 5.0.11337.1968 (beta). The text I see is blurred and stretched vertically. It flashes on and off when zooming in or out, or when moving the mouse. it reads: [01234567 8',"SeEyalt9,iNWv-fDIO AUGB] (not including the square brackets). I'm not sure if it's the same text each time. I'm attaching a screen shot.

I can't install 5.1, I'm on Jaunty and 5.0 is the latest available.

Why is it that whenever I file bugs for something current I don't get any response for months and then when I do get a response, it's someone telling me to try an as yet unreleased latest version. I'll probably get around to installing Karmic at some point (and google earth 5.1 with it), and when I do, I'm betting that this behavior is still there and I'll update the bug, not hear anything for months until someone tells me that I should try Lucid.

I know Google Earth is closed source, so there's not necessarily a lot anyone from Ubuntu or Medibuntu could do in fixing this issue. It just seems like I always get the same response when I file bugs.

Apparently already fixed with googleearth 5.1.
