So i get this awful bug again today.
It's like when I hover through menu elements, an element over selected one turns blank (white or black):
Or red (either as background or as text). It turns differently whenever I go over elements back and forth, or click them.
That's very annoying.
I had this bug years ago, which turned me from Linux back to Windows, since noone could bring me any clue wat's going on.
I didn't make any changes. It just started that way today.
I attached some files to demonstrate it.
Does anyone knows what's going on here?

Could be.
I installed LMMS lately, maybe that has something to do with it...
My Trisquel version is the latest stable (8.0) and environment GNOME/MATE
I reinstalled Trisquell and will try to reproduce this issue, repeating whatever I did before.
Switching environment to KDE fixed the issue, and it was strictly related to the environment since i.e. Abrowser stayed fine. Bbut I really like MATE environment :)
Let you know if I find something.

happened to me again, but can't recognize the cause behind it. it just happens at some boot sooner or later.

and again. all that those events has in common (behind graphical artifacts) is I switched to BlackMate. It always happened to me when I was on BlackMate theme for a while.

is there any safe way to reinstall mate without reinstalling whole system?

okay, two new findings:
- it appears also when I use any other style than BlackMate
- switching to xfce doesnt solve the thing (bug is still present, it's just the matter of colors it's switching to).

That's how it looks like, basically:
