And while not possible to open the settings app while this bug is in effect, I had the settings app open well before the bug occurs. But this screenshot shows how even the desktop icons only show, and all the text below them have vanished completely.

I don't see the hours, but i see the icons like Firefox actually opened, my battery etc. and notifications are empty (just the "!" icon). Text normally displayed when mouse-hover the applications icons is not displayed, when Ubuntu ask for my password the frame display only 3 or 4 characters, when i put the computer in standby and reopen it doesn't change anything, and the bullets of my password aren't displayed when i login. The text normally displayed on the menus aren't displayed too, same for the application menu (when hitting the bottom left corner button) and icons of applications (like Discord options on the top right of the screen). The only text from xorg that is displayed (if it's from xorg…) is the window's title (like "#Room - Discord" for Discord application, or "me@computer: ~/" above the terminal). What is left works : Firefox can display text, and text is displayed in settings for example. P.S: a reboot solved the problem.
