[Bug 1752767] Re: grub2 regression, simultaneous console and video graphical glitches with new patch

[Nicholas Tobolski]

Is there some way I can resolve this issue without waiting for the
update? I'm going on 3 days without being able to boot into my main
coding OS.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The last SRU introduced a regression whereby, on EFI systems that support the graphical GRUB menu, there is a flickering affect where the menu switches between graphical and console modes while scrolling through menus.

  [Test Case]
  On an EFI system that supports a graphical GRUB menu, drop to the edit screen, and hold down the up/down arrow keys to cause rapid scrolling. You should not see the menu switch between graphical and console mode.

  [Regression Risk]
  This SRU only removes a patch added in the previous SRU.
