Public bug reported:
While using my machine, characters suddenly disappear. No character in
particular, not in any single application in particular, and copying and
pasting the text preserves the characters.
Scrolling the text out of view and back into view doesn't affect the
missing characters. Switching between applications may change the
affected characters (possibly due to a redraw operation?)
Restarting often solves the problem, but it comes back after a couple of
hours working. I've attached a screenshot to show you the problem.
I do believe this is different than the bug relating to garbled characters in a
number of ways
1. I don't ever get garbled characters
2. Scrolling out/in of the affected text doesn't re-show the missing
characters, even navigating inside the application has no effect. 3. It's
global, I can even see it on Desktop icon names
