Blender UI Glitches

For the past few days, I have been experiencing some glitches within the Blender UI that cause Blender to be difficult to use or completely unusable. The problem is that when I open blender, certain parts of the screen randomly move or disappear entirely. Here are the details:
Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Trusty (64-bit)

Here’s a screen capture video of the issue in action:

I have tried restarting my computer, using an older version of blender, using the newest version of blender, updating Ubuntu, and restarted Blender several times. It keeps happening nonetheless. If anyone could propose a solution, I would be eternally grateful, since this is a source of income. Thanks! :slight_smile:

That seems to be a pretty old (about 2008?) subnotebook you’re using there. Are you sure that machine (and especially the graphics hardware) meets Blender’s minimum requirements? Correct graphics drivers installed?

Did everyting work correctly before? If so, perhaps some recent system update broke the graphics drivers/kernel modules/etc…?
