Bug Description
Hi,
for few weeks now, I've noticed a big change in graphic performance while playing famous SuperTuxKart on ubuntu bionic :
shadows are flickering, all over the screen, it's a big pain for eyes ( and wonder what would happen for epileptic people ).
My computer is :
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz with 16Go ram and Haswell integrated graphics.
