Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Originally I posted the problem for emacs23
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/674488). But the
problem is not restricted to this program. It also happens e.g. in OO
and unison.

Since the update to Maverick Meerkat I got very strange characters in
emacs23 (see attachment). The characters are somehow shuffled into each
other. This happens if I fast move through a line. If I leave the line
or shortly switch to another window, all is fine again. For emacs23 the
problem depends on font settings. If I disable anti-aliasing the problem
disappears.

In OpenOffice (oowriter) there is a strange behaviour: comments are
agglomerated at the bottom while scrolling.

The problem arises only in dual head mode. When I turn of the laptop
screen and only use the external monitor, all is fine.

I could not use ubuntu-bug ($ ubuntu-bug xorg) to report this problem. I
got the error message: "Das Problem kann nicht gemeldet werden: Dies ist
kein echtes Ubuntu-Paket"...
