Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hi

Since the move from compiz 0.8.4 to 0.8.6, end pf July, I've had
corrupted chars in xterm as in the attached picture: some vertical bars
clutter the chars.

I checked with the compiz folks who told me this was triggered by a
compiz change, but was a xorg bug in my video card's driver (intel).

During Debconf I mentioned the bug to keithp who told me that this was a
known issue with a couple of patches in xorg-server 1.9.0 fixing it.  We
were still in 1.8.x in Ubuntu.

Now we're at 1.9.x+ and I still get the issue; I think it wasn't the one
keithp thought of back then.

If I drag the window around, the content gets fixed.

GNOME Terminal doesn't show the issue.

Cheers,
