The former is indirect software rendering in the X server, the latter is
direct rendering with the r300 driver falling back to software, which is
known to be flaky.

So, does running the app with disable_lowimpact_fallback=true (Which
should be the default though in the version of Mesa you're using) make
the message and/or corruption disappear?

This is due to gearbox; it basically leaves the contents of the top left
corner undefined. The sketchup problem is probably unrelated.
