Bug description

The recent upgrade of acl and libacl1 caused a screen tearing to occur in the start menu. This made some words of the start menu leave an afterimage and made it seem like part of the names are repeating in a segregated box to the left side but after some time it renders it as it should. I am not able to describe it clearly but it is like this:

| Programming |ng | right box containing application icons and entries

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade acl to 2.3.2-1build1.
2. Upgrade libacl1 to 2.3.2-1build1.

Expected behavior

Start menu should be rendered without screen tearing.

Start by reproducing the tearing in Cinnamon 6.2.9 after upgrading acl and libacl1 to 2.3.2-1build1, using the reported start-menu and graphics configuration as context. Compare behavior before and after the package upgrade; done means the start menu renders without tearing or afterimages.
