Package: base
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Some graphical areas appear to render incorrectly.
Instead of glyphs there are artifacts that have similarly-coloured pixels.
This appears to affect only a specific kind of text-field or icons.
Some applications seem to render most text correctly and some not.
As an example: Firefox does not seem to contain any readable text, whereas
konqueror has no problems rendering web-pages and window-frames.
But an overlay in konqueror also has scrambled content.
I had the suspicion it was gtk, so i opened gimp to find most text (menubar/
tags) not working either, but a self-compiled application using gtk works fine.
Most KDE-related content appears to be rendering correctly also.
In another X session everything is alright and i guess restarting the computer
would solve the problem (or rather: hide it).
I'm offering to leave this X session open for a week or so - just in case
anyone is interested enough - to be able to provide further information on
request.
This might be the second time i am experiencing this (in wheezy earlier, but
not entirely sure) but i have no idea how to reproduce this.
I'm on a laptop, running KDE and have not properly re-started the computer for
a day (standby/idle). Apart from that there should be nothing unual about my
setup.
The problem renders a many of applications unusable, but the workaround is
simple.
kind regards
P.S. as soon as i have worked out how to supply screenshots, i will. But i'd
prefer sending them to individuals via email (silly paranoia).

Hi,
thanks for your interest in making Debian better and filing
this report:

However, at this time it looks more like a support request,
and the bug tracker is not well-suited for helping users
interactively.
Please try getting help first from other venues listed at
https://www.debian.org/support - especially IRC,
the mailing lists or http://forums.debian.net/ .
Once there is a clear bug identified, please file a new report
against the package having the bug.
Thank you for your understanding,
Chris
