Public bug reported:
This happens whenever I try to edit a file (for example /etc/apt/sources.list)
or open gedit with root privileges. Application window opens, characters are
replaced by squares, and becomes impossible to drag or resize it as my system
completely stalls. Also if firefox is open, it also becomes unresponsive and
crashes.
This screenshot summarises what i have been experiencing so far:

Additionally, it also happens with nautilus.
