I have this problem since i bought this toshiba laptop and using Nouveau.
Sometimes text is rendered scrambled.
eg chromium title text, or text in terminal.
Those glitches take the color of the displayed text and most times are caused
when moving a window.
When this happens it does not apply on every text region of the screen but only
some.
Also text is restored if i hover it or if i minimize the window and then
maximize it.
Very much a known problem, see #666468.
That bug just got closed; can you please upgrade xserver-xorg-core to
version 2:1.12.4-2, restart your X session and see if the text
scrambling is fixed?

Cheers,

Hello and thanks for the update!

I updated libcairo to latest version in sid repos and xserver-xorg-core to the version mentioned above text scrambling with black glitches as described above is fixed but now there is another problem. Now text doesnt render at all? Before it was invisible and was restored if window was moved/resized. Now it cant be restored even if resized:/ In terminal i have to get the cursor over each letter to make it appear (background changes from black to white on cursor) and on chromium the tabs have no titles:/
Should i open a new bug?

Thanks
Paris
