[Bug 1445911] [NEW] Characters missing in Ubuntu 14.04

 

Public bug reported:

Every once in a while characters appear to be missing in
menus/toolbars/windows headers/...

Sometimes just moving them around or moving the mous over them seem to
help to recover the missing characters, but most of the times I have to
close-reopen in order to get things back to normal.
