Title:
  Random text characters partially or completely missing

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Problem began upon upgrading of
     xserver-xorg-core_1.17.1-0ubuntu3_amd64 and
     xserver-xorg-common_1.17.1-0ubuntu3_amd64xorg
  to
     xserver-xorg-core_1.17.1-0ubuntu4_amd64 and
     xserver-xorg-common_1.17.1-0ubuntu4_amd64xorg

  and was resolved by reverting to the pre-upgrade packages. Apparently random text characters, or parts thereof, would be missing in various applications including the Lightdm greeter, Firefox, Pidgin, Mate-terminal, the Mate panel clock, Unetbootin, and the Mate menu. This occurs both at my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050) and at 1600x1200.
  Other possibly useful info:
  libdrm-nouveau2:amd64         2.4.60-3                                amd64
  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau  1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1    amd64
