It looks to me like a graphicscard/driver issue. Did you tried disabling desktop effects or change its OpenGL version there ?
Does this only happen with mintupdate ? Do you have other GTK Apps like GMusicbrowser which behave like this ?
I saw such thing on old Intel X200s once and there it was a memory issue. As the memory is shared with the inbuilt graphicschip you needed two exactly same RAM chips inside otherwise it could produce such weirdness all over the place.
