Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-life on April 29, 2021. Due to the time that has elapsed since your initial bug report I'm changing the status to 'Incomplete'. If this issue is still present in a currently supported release of Ubuntu then please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to 'New' and add a full description of the problem that you are seeing. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694359 Title: Text missing on display, from various applications and desktop Status in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Every once in a while, text will disappear. If you're wondering which text, the answer is any text. What I've typed in an office doc will be invisible, but selectable. Icon labels are invisible, but highlighted when clicked. Options in the control panel, and so on. Rebooting takes care of it, but it seems weird that it should happen. I upgraded to 16.04 recently. Also, I was playing around with a Linux Intel driver for graphics, that might have interfered with something, but the problem came up only recently. I made some screen captures if anyone would like to see them.
