Bug Description

After the most recent automatic update, my screen will flicker randomly. This is not screen tearing but a random, arbitrary flicker/tearing that gets worse when i use calculator, terminal and firefox. It is particularly bad when using firefox. It's reasonably stable when using google chrome.
