Bug Description

Fonts are sometimes jittery on 13.04, especially in Chromium. See attached screenshot, where the top right of A is not showing. Mousing over the title, and sometimes scrolling on the page, causes it to cut out on other letters, seemingly randomly. This also has happened on the titlebar of windows.
