Do you have the proprietary Nvidia video drivers installed? If so,
this is a known issue, see bug #44478 [1], there is a workaround, but
we need help finding a better solution. If not, then I'm not sure but
likely related to a problem with OpenGL.

Thanks for the reference, and yes, I have the proprietary Nvidia driver (version 346.82) installed.
