System update corrupted system

[Bret Busby]

I have just completed a system update on UbuntuMATE 21/.04, and
rebooted, and it has corrupted the system.

It broke the panel, shifted everything around in the panel, set the
font in the panel, to be too big to be usable, and will not let me
change the font size in the panel.

I now can not launch some of the applications from the panel, because
the sabotage has put them behind the text of the menu text in the
panel.

I do not know why the "developers" set out to break the installation,
via "updates".
