Public bug reported:
After upgrading from 19.10 to 20.04 I am seeing blocky green and purple
artefacts on icons, background images and text. This is visible on the
login screen and once logged in.
Only the "shell" is corrupted and any subsequent changes, such as
changing the background image, are displayed without corruption. The
corruption is random but it is predictable that it will appear on the
launcher icons, background image and shell menu icons and text.
I've tried swapping between available graphics drivers but it makes no
difference.
Text corruption in menus is on particular glyphs selected at random. In
the screen shots, for example, all upper-case and lower-case 'O's are
currupted but on a subsequent reboot the affected glyphs will vary. On
filing this bug I also notice that the pop-up modal password requests
also displayed the corrupted glyphs. No programms run subsequently will
display any problems.
