Created attachment 92770 not quite random corruption example With the workarounds disabled, can anything be deduced from the text or pixmap corruption not seeming to be completely random?
Italic text seems to be particularly badly hit, and it seems to vary with the font and size. But in the attached screenshot, some of the lines of text never showed any corruption, while others usually showed some corruption, the corruption changing on switching focus to another window and back. Size 10 italic Cantarell seemed particularly badly hit, with even lines of just repeated c or d characters showing corruption (if longer than 18 letters), but other fonts don't usually show any corruption on a line of text filled with a single repeating character. For pixmap corruption, the printer icon in the gedit toolbar seems to get turned into grey vertical bars more often than any other icons get corrupted. -- 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 Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete 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.
