Bug#502861: xorg: text occasionally misplaced / missing / wrong font colour

[alex <alex@apeironsports.com>]

Package: xorg
Severity: important


In a huge variety of applications e.g. iceweasel, openoffice, openbox (menu entries, window titles), text is either missing, out of place on the page, or the font is incorrect color. This usually affects a whole line, but sometimes just the first letter. After a redraw, appearance is fine. 
Sometimes i have had a letter that should have appeared in an
application window, appear on my desktop background.
