Public bug reported: I came across a strange bug that one of my family members experienced. It seems to be related to the kernel update 3.5.0-26
She updated the kernel to 3.5.0-26-generic which caused graphical issues and freezing in Unity. Graphics turn corrupt when she would click on things. Clicking on the firefox icon in the Unity dash for example would cause graphical corruption and it would appear to be frozen. Rolling back to 3.5.0-25-generic fixed the issue. Any ideas?
