It's not entirely random. What I have noticed is that one or more vertices are corrupt. Sometimes you see the correct content but skewed, which is what happens if you just move one of the vertices (its texture coordinates). With two or more distorted coordinates, we can be sampling from anywhere within the texture - which can mean that we see the wrong glyph or a highly distorted composite of several glyphs (since all the active glyphs are stored in a single texture). -- 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/1098334 Title: [gen4 sna] Font corruption Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After enabling the SNA acceleration method and rebooting, I noticed that graphical glitches appeared in the letters on Chromium's tab bar during the mouse hover animation.
