Bug Description
Linux Mint 13 is based on Ubuntu 12.04.
Esteemed Ubuntu/Linux Mint Developers and Gurus:
=======
LM13 Mate 32 bit LiveDVD running from LOCKED SD card (NO HARD DRIVE)
Browser: Firefox 12.0 for Linux Mint (mint - 1.0)
I'm having some subtle display problems with the new Mint 13 (Mate 32 bit) LiveDVD (Read-Only) system I am trying to use. Note that these problems do NOT occur in Mint 8 or Mint 10 (both Gnome 32 bit), which are the only other Mint systems that I use.
My System:
=================
HP/(Compaq) dx2400
Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB memory
Graphics
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Refresh: 60 Hz
Normal Widescreen
Memory with Google Maps running approx 3/4 screen, with corrupted blocks:

I have noticed the intermittent problem repeatedly in Google Satellite Maps, which I use extremely often. I believe that Google Maps writes windows of 'picture blocks' of underlying satellite pictures, and overlay picture blocks of map labels. Frequently, one or a few blocks are corrupted(?) or scrambled(?). Once a block is corrupted it tends to stay corrupted even if I drag it out of view of the window and then drag it back in; or if I change the resolution up or down and then change it back to the previous setting. Occasionally the corrupted block gets 'repaired', but I can't seem to do that consistently, and occasionally MORE blocks get corrupted. I have had as many as 4 blocks get corrupted, with three of them adjacent blocks and 1 non-adjacent. I have noticed the problem in BOTH layers, but most often in the satellite pictures layer. I have attached screen dumps showing good images and corrupted images in both layers.
I have not tested this anomaly in any other applications ... as I said, I am deciding whether or not to use Mint 13, and as much as I like some of the new features of 13, this problem is a deal-breaker.
Thank you for any and all comments, suggestions, and assistance.
Blessings in abundance, all the best, & ENJOY!

I burned an Ubuntu system on a CD-ROM:
ubuntu- 12.04-desktop- i386.iso
It has the same problem ... see the 5th attachment ...
