Since upgrading to saucy, I've had individual characters render
improperly. Unfortunately, taking a screenshot clears the corruption.
Selecting the text, scrolling in the terminal (which I imagine redraws
anew instead of scrolling a rendered pane), or any number of things that
would trigger a re-display of a glyph seems to clear it. Incidentally I
see occasional corrupted glyphs appear in this text input box as I type,
and they will appear with one keystroke and disappear with the next. I
am fairly confident I could reproduce as I go.
I filed this against pango because that's what I think of as responsible
for this sort of thing.
Screenshot attached.
