Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

When using xchat-gnome with the latest packages from xorg-edgers I get weird screen corruption. It appears the chat area is not being cleared before being drawn again so everything just draws on top of whatever was there before. I'm attaching a screenshot and will run apport-collect after filing to provide extra info. For some reason the screenshot doesn't show how bad it really is but still shows the issue.

Hmm, for clarification this is a regression from the 2.13.xx driver in natty to the 2.14.0 driver in xorg-edgers?

I'm about to upload this 2.14.0 driver to natty, so this sounds like an important bug. Can you verify that it is indeed the xserver-xorg-video-intel package by downgrading to 2.13.903 driver and seeing if it is reproducible?
