I also resolved this issue on three different machines by upgrading the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver (via the xorg-edgers PPA). For others affected, simplest solution (at your own risk!):
add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa apt-get update apt-get upgrade Then log out and back in. Problem solved. Probably a good idea to drop that repository from your /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory if and when a working xserver-xorg- video-intel is pushed to the main repos. -- Mono WinForms apps don't show text on menus and button https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462349 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
