[Bug 1512454] Re: Refresh change colours

 

The original computer model is Samsung R540, but most parts of this
computer been replaced (motherboard due to hardware damage, and it is
likely that it is not from this model but similar model, CPU replaced
for faster Intel I5 - 540M, and also Hard drive changed, and if I
remember properly RAM memory also has been replaced)

Title:
  Refresh change colours

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I had experienced few times that refreshing window causes some places to lose right information about colour. I mean that colours change to different for e.g. grey become yellowish, and strips are visible. Also in web browser some letters disappear.
  It is happening not often, maybe about 2/3 times per month. I am using Ubuntu 14.04, with following Hardware:
  Intel core I5 540M 2.53 GHz x 2 with Intel Ironlake Mobile graphics. System Is 64 bit version. 3,7GiB Ram.
  I'm using two screens with different size. First one is built-in laptop screen with resolution 1366x768 (16:9) and second one is Hitachi 22HXJ06U with resolution 1920x1080 (16:9). This happened to me also in Ubuntu 15.04, and before on Ubuntu 14.10. (In all cases the same hardware and two screens). Until now I notice this bug only when on firefox so I thought it could be something wrong with firefox, but today I noticed this bug on Terminal Window. I cannot really provide information how to create this bug - twice it happened on facebook when board automatically refreshed, and today it happened on Terminal when I clicked on firefox. I tried to repeat the problem with terminal, using the same commands but without positive results. Bug is fixing when window / application getting refreshed - scrolling up / down or moving window on screen fixing it. Creating Screenshot doesn't fixing it (done by default Print Screen with animation that everything becoming white and going to normal image)
  I also checked logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) but I dont see any error message or something - log finishing after screen setting up.
  I attached picture with example in firefox window (screenshots was bit edited - facebook's board, chat and chat list been deleted).
