Public bug reported:
Ubuntu-Mate 15.10 development version updated as of 4-Jun 2300 UTC .
Video driver is nouveau
Problem began upon upgrading of
xserver-xorg-core_1.17.1-0ubuntu3_amd64 and
xserver-xorg-common_1.17.1-0ubuntu3_amd64xorg
to
xserver-xorg-core_1.17.1-0ubuntu4_amd64 and
xserver-xorg-common_1.17.1-0ubuntu4_amd64xorg
and was resolved by reverting to the pre-upgrade packages. Apparently random
text characters, or parts thereof, would be missing in various applications
including the Lightdm greeter, Firefox, Pidgin, Mate-terminal, the Mate panel
clock, Unetbootin, and the Mate menu. This occurs both at my monitor's native
resolution (1680x1050) and at 1600x1200.
Other possibly useful info:
