Confirming based on the screenshot, but I have never seen this, so now we need to figure out how to reproduce the problem.
One thing to try: In a terminal, run "xwininfo" and click on the USC window. Now resize the window. Does the garble go away? If so, please copy and paste the xwininfo output into the bug report.
