Public bug reported: I get intermittent screen corruption in Firefox using the Radeon driver. It's typically a character here and there, once every few minutes. A screenshot of this is attached.
WORKAROUND: While the fglrx driver doesn't exhibit this exact problem, I get heavy screen corruption when having a lot of different flash based videos play simultaneously in chromium.
