Well I understand there are some weird things underneath - but when I've a page where the scrolling up/down is showing heavy intel_gpu_top usage, and flickering of pictures is visible - then I make nothing else then page reload - I've just naive assumption, that this redrawn page is just using different memory buffers - but otherwise the number of graphical objects pushed to GPU should be approximately the same.

Well the same page could be scrolled with either i.e. 15% 'render busy' - and no flickering - or with ~50% 'render busy' and visible problems. I could make a debug build - but it would be probably needed to have some kind of 'signal support' to dump needed data when necessary instead of logging GB of data all the time. > > i.e. I'd have expected if there would be a large press on GPU - but in this > > case it just appear random pixel start to be drawn instead of some letter - > > maybe some font cache corruption ? > > It's still the same bug. So maybe we could start at this - since MAX 64 is giving the problem exposed very easily - it's enough to run gnome-terminal on my desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098489 Title: [gen4] Corruption in Chrome omni bar results using Intel SNA Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After enabling Intel SNA the favicons in the omnibar search results are corrupted.
