Hi Christopher,
Quite honestly, it's been a bit since I used this computer, which is the only one I use with Linux.  That is only a function of convenience as I have an old windows
based desktop that meets my general needs.  I was prompted by your email to switch machines, and shortly after booting I received a message asking if I wanted to update my programs, which I did. Since then I have been using Ubuntu and haven't experienced any problems, so i can't respond to you with an example and can only assume that it has been resolved.  I'll persist and if it happens again, I'll send you a picture.  If the problem doesn't reappear by the end of the month, I'll change the status to resolved and send you an email to let you know.
Thanks for your help.
Jonathan

Title:
  Graphic display problem

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While using both LibreOffice Writer and Firefox, I have had occasions
  when the laptop screen went wonky with horizontal lines running across
  such that the screen was not readable. The problem seems to correct
  itself if I switch programs using the Launcher and then return to the
  problem application.
