Bug Description

In the upper left hand corner of my screen in the title of the selected window, the first letter has distortion to where it looks stretched to the right. This same effect seems to impact the first letter of what is typed in the Dash search box.

I do not know if this has anything to do with video drivers, but for the record I am using the open sourced AMD drivers with a Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series.
