Bug Description

Since switching to the new Cinnamon Desktop in Ununtu 12.04 LTS, I noticed general scrolling is much more difficult in a browser. I recently got a bigger monitor so I switched to Cinnamon since that's the only way I could get the optimum resolution using dual monitors on my ATI HD 5400 series. Maybe it's just the fact that I have an ATI card, on a MSI motherboard.

The resolution worked, but now the graphics are just choppy, especially when scrolling in a browser or watching any video. Looks great when it's not moving.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
