Comment 5 for bug 879762

I think I've the same problem with Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit. I'd like to add that not only letters and numbers become unreadable, but there are also problems with the drawings: junction points and the pins (the circles at the end) are also lost in the lower 3/4 of the Eeschema's screen. If you scroll down, then redraw, then scroll up, then everything is visible until the next zoom/redraw. There is also similar redraw problem with PCBnew in the lower 1/3 of the screen.

I've upgraded Adam Wolf's last version for Oneiric (2011-10-25) but the problem still exists.

I've also found on the Internet ( http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/message/10635 ) stating this is an XOrg problem, however I cannot confirm this (I've know almost nothing about XOrg or KiCad internals).
