After automatic update asked me to update my softwares and I said Yes, I am observing screen flicker whenever I change a Tab or Window. The screen flickers for a second and flickering mostly gets triggered when I use ALT+TAB way to navigate.
My System is:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz × 4
Graphics: Intel® Ironlake Mobile
Memory: 3.7 G
Dell Vostro
I debugged it and found a log file apport.log with following message.
ERROR: apport (pid 8949) Tue Jan 9 22:53:24 2018: this executable already crashed 2 times, ignoring

Also, syslog contains following information.

Looks like, compiz process is crashing and as a result, when I try to toggle between windows I see screen flicker.
How can I solve this issue. It happened after the recent update on 7th January.
Any help is most appreciated.
