Really? I'm a noob and so tired of people pointing out irrelevant information. If you do not have a solution, please refrain from pretending you are a Linux guru imparting wisdom such as "It's a bug".
Luke H, thanks for letting us know it will come with ubuntu updates when it is done. I appreciate the fact that you stayed up all night coming up with that solution.

BTW, Photoshop will run on Linux when Adobe gets around to it.
