Created attachment 82227 Snapshot on the issue on characters I have finally succeeded in taking a snapshot of the (very frequent) issue that I have with individual characters while editing text. This is from emacs.
The issue may look localized and very minor, but being on text it is in fact extremely distracting and annoying. Just while editing this last sentence, it happened five or six times: entering a character makes another character somewhere else get corrupted (and stay so until another character is pressed, or the cursor is moved, or the text is scrolled out and back in). The weird thing is that entering a character here may cause a character corruption in some completely different place. And this is exactly the reason why it is absolutely a killer to productivity. It takes the eye away from where you are working. Furthermore, the issue seems to be much more frequent if I type normally, than if, on purpose, I carefully and slowly enter characters one by one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098334 Title: [gen4 sna] Font corruption in Chromium tab bar Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After enabling the SNA acceleration method and rebooting, I noticed that graphical glitches appeared in the letters on Chromium's tab bar during the mouse hover animation.
