Can you verify that all MATE packages installed are at 1.12 upstream
versions? It's quite likely that testing users end up with a mix
of different versions of MATE packages since different packages
migrate at different times from unstable.

This is why I think it's generally a bad idea to use Debian testing or
unstable on a production machine unless you know what you're doing and
can fix issues yourself. We are actually receiving several bug reports
with issues which are to be expected during the development release
and will just sort out themselves with consecutive package updates.

In any case, you can verify the installed packages with:
