This bug also affects me on both trust and utopic. For both unity and
xfce. I have attached some screenshots I have taken over the past few
days. The non-rendering of characters remains until I reboot. The
duplicated characters or noise can go away after a redraw, but they come
back until a reboot.

Title:
Random characters in screen text suddenly disappear
Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
While using my machine, characters suddenly disappear. No character in
particular, not in any single application in particular, and copying
and pasting the text preserves the characters.
Scrolling the text out of view and back into view doesn't affect the
missing characters. Switching between applications may change the
affected characters (possibly due to a redraw operation?)
Restarting often solves the problem, but it comes back after a couple
of hours working. I've attached a screenshot to show you the problem.
I do believe this is different than the bug relating to garbled characters in
a number of ways
1. I don't ever get garbled characters
2. Scrolling out/in of the affected text doesn't re-show the missing
characters, even navigating inside the application has no effect. 3. It's
global, I can even see it on Desktop icon names
