Just updated to 17.2 'Rafaela' and have a major issue.
When I start a Cinnamon session, Cinnamon appears to load correctly. However, if I rapidly mouse over the icons in the system tray / quick launch they disappear, and I cannot see the windows of any open applications with the exception of nemo. No window borders, nothing. Nemo works, unless I choose an action such as to delete or rename a file, then the dialog window is invisible, and I can see my desktop wallpaper where the dialog box should be.
I have tried purging cinnamon, reinstalling, and deleting all config files.
I am really at a loss, and hoping someone can help me out here.
Thank you.
