Incorrect rendering of some glyphs is still there as of yesterday's git
snapshot (24/7/13). I'm reporting it as I read somewhere that newer
released versions of the driver implemented a lower limit on
MAX_FLUSH_VERTICES in order to reduce the impact of the bug, but I
really see no difference. Yet, it may be the case that the reduction is
only applied to the released driver and not in the devel version
(haven't checked the actual code).

A couple of notes:

- The way in which the glyphs corruption appears is weird. Without any
scrolling, just typing in characters at some place causes some random
character to get corrupted somewhere else (e.g. maybe 1 line above,
maybe 10 cm to the right, etc). Some times typing some more character is
enough to have the corruption disappear, something it does not.  I have
not been able to determine if the glyph that gets corrupted is the same
one that is being typed (i.e, I type in an 'e' and somewhere and 'e'
gets corrupted), but I suspect that this is not the case.

- The issue seems to be much less frequent if I type slowly.

- Once a glyph is corrupted, just 'selecting' some random character
around it, but not necessarily very close to it (e.g., 15 chars to the
left or to the right), seems to be enough to cause a redraw of the glyph
that fixes its rendering.  This seems somehow similar to how pressing
'PrtScrn' to try to get a snapshot causes a redraw that fixes the wrong
glyphs, so that it is difficult to get a screenshot of the issue, unless
one relies on a camera.
