[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1501421@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Quite often, when "opening" the laptop after it has been "closed" for a
while, the display is completely messed up, i.e. most characters are
corrupted with alien-like characters.  Attached is an explicit
screenshot of Thunderbird tabs (the first tab should read "Courrier
entrant", the second line "Relever ; Écrire ; ? ; Adresses ; Étiquettes
; Filtre rapide", etc.), but most applications (Firefox, gnome-terminal,
LibreOffice, Gnumeric, windows titles and menus, right-click menus,
etc.) are affected.  Some of these issues (e.g. tabs) can be fixed by
hovering them with the cursor, but not all.

Similar issues have been reported elsewhere :
