For the most part, I'm quite happy, 14.10 runs quite smoothly and Unity
handles the HD display but I've noticed when typing on LibreOffice
Writer, characters disappear. That is to say, that although they're
still there, they don't show on the page. Selecting all and changing the
font makes them visible again but at this point no particular font seems
immune. I haven't yet noticed this happening in any other program which
includes writing. Also, it doesn't happen all the time.
I see this mostly in LibreOffice but also sometimes in Thunderbird too.
I find if you scroll the page back and forward out of the viewport they
come back :-)
I'm using a fairly old Samsung R320 laptop - I don't recall having this
issue before 14.10 but I could be wrong. I'm also using the metacity
fallback window manager after Unity lost all it's settings and the
launcher failed to display twice. After spending ages fixing it the
first time I gave up.
I assumed it was a dodgy graphics driver or something similar but it
doesn't bother me enough to worry about or try and write a bug report...
