I removed the edgers (sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers) and restart X, but the
problem remains. So I set status back to "New".

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => New

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  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"...
