Title:
Some Display Blocks are corrupted in Google Satellite Maps
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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!
