Some people say this is not an xorg problem, but is a but in the kernel. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=209065 Indeed, I have this problem when booting the 4.2.0 and 4.2.0 kernel, but not when booting 3.19.0.

Chrome and QT apps are unaffected. In my case it doesn't occur very frequently, perhaps once a week at most. I typically suspend my system every day and only reboot once or twice a month. It's not clear what is causing the problem. Based on the symptoms and similar bug reports, it seems most likely a problem with xorg and/or xserver-xorg-video-intel. It appears to be a new bug with 16.04 as I never experienced this in 15.10. I've noticed that the amount of missing text seems to vary depending on the font and font size. Some fonts/sizes seem to be okay, while with others there is no text on screen at all. Font rendering settings also appear have an effect. The problem is only visible with slight hinting and RGB sub pixel order. Disabling anti-aliasing or changing either the hinting or sub pixel order to anything else immediately renders all characters normally. Switching to a virtual terminal and back again fixes the problem (Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7), as does restarting Xorg or logging out.
