2010-11-23 12:06:48 bugbot affects xorg (Ubuntu) xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
2011-04-27 22:39:08 bugbot description Binary package hint: xorg Sometimes, display fonts become garbled (see attached image). This affects all applications, including those not yet launched, until X is restarted. The problem seems to occur particularly when using Firefox, but I was not able to identify a sequence of actions leading to it.
