Title:
  Screen corruption (characters are drawn as black squares)

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sometimes, the characters are rendered as black squares (cf attachment). I couldn't find any event in the systems logs that could explain that.
  I can "stop" the bug by changing the anti-aliasing options in the system settings (enabled / disabled, level of hinting) and restarting the applications, but the squares can come back later on, and I have to repeat the operation.

  The bug almost exclusively happens with firefox and thunderbird,
  though krunner is also affected (but not other kde apps). I'm not
  using many GTK applications, but I can also see the bug with unison.

  It used to happen in 13.10 as well, and upgrading to 14.04.1 hasn't
  improved the situation
