Bug Description

so this major bug happened to me once before but i didn't do something about it, i restarted my pc.

This is the second time, occurs arbitrarily! Some text become colorless, cant be read!

please look at these images

and this video of the clock which i recorded

However this can be fixed(if that's the right word) temporarily by restarting gdm or the PC

I'm not sure what this is caused by, but i attached the info of xorg, some told me it might be from it

I seriously believe this must be solved before the final release, i've asked over irc for help, all of them were just clueless! I'll keep this updated if i get any other information that would help

good luck

Hi Anxious,

        Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/)

        If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
        Thanks in advance.
