The specific part of the screen shot with obvious corruption is cropped below. I'll try to get a video; one problem I have is that many of the specific things I do that reliably show the problem are at times when private data is visible on my screen.

I _cannot_ show this problem without the XrandR command (or some GUI-configured equivalent), because it seems to only happen with external DisplayPort monitors attached. When I use _only_ the internal laptop panel things appear to work correctly (or did last time I checked, I very seldom run only one display). I believe the problem is triggered by either 1) daisy-chained DisplayPort monitors or 2) the sheer size of my desktop (11520x2160).

I will try to find something that reliably corrupts that is not sensitive to get a video, and I will test with no external displays attached and verify that that is still error-free.
