Package: base Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Some graphical areas appear to render incorrectly. Instead of glyphs there are artifacts that have similarly-coloured pixels. This appears to affect only a specific kind of text-field or icons. Some applications seem to render most text correctly and some not. As an example: Firefox does not seem to contain any readable text, whereas konqueror has no problems rendering web-pages and window-frames. But an overlay in konqueror also has scrambled content. I had the suspicion it was gtk, so i opened gimp to find most text (menubar/ tags) not working either, but a self-compiled application using gtk works fine. Most KDE-related content appears to be rendering correctly also. In another X session everything is alright and i guess restarting the computer would solve the problem (or rather: hide it). I'm offering to leave this X session open for a week or so - just in case anyone is interested enough - to be able to provide further information on request. This might be the second time i am experiencing this (in wheezy earlier, but not entirely sure) but i have no idea how to reproduce this. I'm on a laptop, running KDE and have not properly re-started the computer for a day (standby/idle). Apart from that there should be nothing unual about my setup. The problem renders a many of applications unusable, but the workaround is simple. kind regards P.S. as soon as i have worked out how to supply screenshots, i will. But i'd prefer sending them to individuals via email (silly paranoia). -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12.5 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
