Title:
  Random text characters partially or completely missing

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu-Mate 15.10 development version updated as of 4-Jun 2300 UTC .
  Video driver is nouveau

  Problem began upon upgrading of

     xserver-xorg-core_1.17.1-0ubuntu3_amd64 and 
     xserver-xorg-common_1.17.1-0ubuntu3_amd64xorg
  to 
     xserver-xorg-core_1.17.1-0ubuntu4_amd64 and 
     xserver-xorg-common_1.17.1-0ubuntu4_amd64xorg

  and was resolved by reverting to the pre-upgrade packages. Apparently random 
text characters, or parts thereof, would be missing in various applications 
including the Lightdm greeter, Firefox, Pidgin, Mate-terminal, the Mate panel 
clock, Unetbootin, and the Mate menu. This occurs both at my monitor's native 
resolution (1680x1050) and at 1600x1200. 
  Other possibly useful info:
   
  libdrm-nouveau2:amd64         2.4.60-3                                amd64
  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau  1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1    amd64
