I'm also affected by this character corruption bug. My hardware is a notebook with Intel 4500M (i915 driver). First I thought it's caused by a hardware issue with my external screen, but the notebook screen shows the currupted characters as well. Sometimes when I scroll down to the end of a website with text and then keep scrolling (when the end is reached), about 2 characters per sentence are corrupted and about every 1/10 second the position of the curruptions change. The characters that were corrupted before look fine then and different characters are corrupted.

What I have tried so far:

- Disable/enable xcompmgr (no effect)
- Use XFCE (no effect)
- Change driver options i915_enable_rc6, i915_enable_fbc, lvds_downclock (no effect)
- Use different fonts (no effect)
- Disable sna (works)
- Test firefox, libreoffice, chromium (all affected)
