Did anyone refile bug for Flash Player shows green/purple in compressed window?

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with integrated Intel graphics, running
Raring, in which Adobe Flash Player 11.2 displays only with shades of
purple and green in a horizontally compressed window.
There was this helpful bug report on file at
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178982.
Work-arounds were to change the Xorg acceleration method to UXA, or boot
with an older kernel. But UXA acceleration produces other side-effects
on this machine, and I haven't figured out how to install an older kernel.
And the bug was closed because the original poster didn't have
possession of the machine anymore.
In my own testing, if I have recorded my observations correctly, we
have, on the Intel graphics/driver with default acceleration:
- Flash 11.2 working under Quantal with the 3.5 kernel
- Flash 11.2 failing under Raring with the 3.8 kernel
- Flash 11.2 failing under Saucy
- Flash 11.8 working (in Chrome) on Raring with the 3.8 kernel
This doesn't give me any firm conclusions.
I also tried one possible fix for the default Intel SNA acceleration.
I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with contents:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
But this did not help.
I have not been able to find an active refile of the bug. Does anyone
know anything more about this problem?
