[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1214051] Re: Firefox displays page with missing or garbaged characters
I see two, what I though were related, 13.10 problems on my Laptop
(reported this bug on that system) and my desktop. The first, as
reported in this bug, is single characters becoming garbage which can be
corrected by causing that character to be refeshed (ie; marking the word
with the mouse). This problem is still occuring on my 13.10 desktop but
not on the 13.10 laptop. The second problem is while scrolling small
blank rectangles appear randomly on the page. These rectangles
disappear if you page up and then back down (or maybe they appear in
different locations). This problem occurres on my laptop and not the
desktop. I can easily reproduce both these problems.
I have a new level of 14.04 on the desktop which neither the garbaged
characters or the blank rectangles occure. I will run the apport-
collect command on the 14.04 desktop to document the level not failing.
** Tags added: apport-collected has-fix single-occurrence third-party-
packages trusty ubuntu
** Description changed:
When displaying a web page some single characters are garbage. This is
most noticable when displaying pages like Facebook when there are a
number of page application causing the page text to be re-written. If
you have a lot of this re-write activity you can see random characters
disappear ( interesting the a was garbage after typing) and reappear.
Will add a screen shot of Facebook that has two examples. The first
being where the m is missing from the Talking Points Memo header. The
second is in the ad for Discover Card, the c in bank is garbage.

Cliff Carson, thank you for providing the requested test.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1214051] Re: Firefox displays page with missing or garbaged characters
Christopher, I installed today's daily build of Gnome 14.04 on my laptop. I see no indication of either problem (bad single characters or blank rectangles) with this system. I don't need any fix for 13.10 since this is only a display problem and doesn't stop me from any task I want to do. I had been following a Bug 1098334 thinking it was the same problem and was actively being worked on. In looking for 1098334 (I forgot the bug number) I found at least 3 more that appeared to be the same problem but no avtivity on them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214051 Title: Firefox displays page with missing or garbaged characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1214051/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1214051] Re: Firefox displays page with missing or garbaged characters
Cliff Carson, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-intel REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1098334 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098334 I have seen this same issue as well, but not just in Firefox. I have not captured a screenshot, but I have seen random garbage characters in other applications, most recently just now in the Software Updater application. Interestingly, when possible, highlighting the text including the garbage character apparently triggers a redraw and corrects the problem. //bg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214051 Title: Firefox displays page with missing or garbaged characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1214051/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
