Hello, I've been trying to use cairo-1.12.0 over the last few days and it seems quite buggy. In a text editor, if the file is reasonably long (like a configure script) then scrolling is really slow and laggy. And in Firefox, most of the text is fine but some of the text is missrendered, sometimes it looks sort of pixelated, sometimes it looks like a block of diagonal lines. And as I move the mouse about and highlight different links some of the text gets redrawn correctly and other bits elsewhere on the page get missrendered. While Firefox is open I sometimes get the same missrendered text effects in other applications like the terminal, which is why I think it's something they're both using, ie, cairo.
I didn't patch cairo, I just configured it --disable-static --enable-tee. If I remove the files it installed and then install cairo-1.10.2 everything works properly again. I can configure 1.10.2 --enable-xcb --disable-static --enable-gl --enable-tee --enable-xml --enable-vg --enable-drm. cairo-1.12.0 won't even compile if I configure it --enable-drm. It seems a lot more buggy than it was. I'm not getting any error messages anywhere so I've nothing to google on. I feel this may be a long slog getting to the bottom of this one so I though I'd ask if anyone else has some insight.
