[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#780553: Bug#780553: additional information

[Andrew Assim]

Fabio,

I was running debian stable jessie. So 2.6 was not available for me. I
just added the mint betsy repos and did a distro upgrade. The problem is
indeed fixed in cinnamon 2.6. I opened 31 pdfs without crashing. I am
using hardware rendering, not failsafe. 

Thanks,
-Andrew

I did a fast test with cinnamon 2.6 and I was unable to reproduce it but
I not tried in fallback mode (software rendering).

Can someone test with cinnamon 2.6 if is it still reproducible please?
