Bug Description
[Impact]
* This makes it impossible to read some text (usually yes/no questions) in Libreoffice. This makes it more difficult to use LibreOffice on AMD graphics.
[Test Case]
1. Open for instance LibreOffice Writer
2. Copy some text to the clipboard
3. Open the Paste Special dialog with CTRL-SHIFT-V
[Regression Potential]
This modifies glamor to be used less. There might be a potential for a performance hit in other cases?
[Original Report]
I get a font glyph corruption in various dialog boxes in libreoffice. This happens using the following graphic configuration:
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: Bonaire [FirePro W5100]
vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
I don't see this in other graphics (NVIDIA, INTEL).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open for instance LibreOffice Writer
2. Copy some text to the clipboard
3. Open the Paste Special dialog with CTRL-SHIFT-V
I attach a screenshot of the corrupted font.

screencast
Running the open-source "radeon" gallium X.org drivers with a Radeon HD 7770 (radeonsi chipset) on Fedora 23 64-bit, with LibreOffice 5.1.1.x and 5.1.2.x downloaded from the LibreOffice website, some of the LibreOffice dialogs show broken text glyphs. See attached screencast.
This is with experimental features turned off, and the traditional UI backend (not the GTK3 one). Couldn't find a way to try out the GTK3 version from the RPMs downloaded from the LibreOffice website (even if I check "Enable experimental features")
