Bug Description
When running gnome-shell on Ubuntu 17.10, text is visible only as white blocks (or sometimes not visible at all), and some graphics, such as the icons on the launcher menu, are corrupt. Only objects drawn by the gnome-shell and related programs seem to be affected. Software which is not part of the gnome-shell, such as LibreOffice, calculator, terminal, etc displays without corruption.
