Note that this may vary depending on the text (or more probably the length of the text) in the tab. I wonder if the transparent gradient/fade of the text in these tabs plays a part here. I will attach a video screen capture of this happening. One URL that causes it is the URL of a previous bug I reported: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55484 (the tab in the video uses this one).

Hey Chris, do you think this could be mainly a HW bug only on the older graphics chips? In other words, is the code obeying the spec, but it would take an odd (non-spec) workaround to make the HW behave? If you have put in any extra flushes to try to fix this, perhaps those should now be removed so as not to affect performance adversely, especially if the extra ones affect newer HW as well (or did you only do it in the code for the old HW?). I suspect I'll be upgrading from this old laptop soon for other reasons, so I agree that worrying too much about a hard-to-fix problem that only affects really old HW is probably not worth it (people could just turn off SNA on older HW, as long as UXA is supported for the foreseeable future).

(Though I need to look at the other gen4 closely.) And for the order of magnitude performance improvement switching from to UXA to SNA I think such a minor bug is a small price to pay... And it will be fixed as soon as I find a workaround.

I tried hard to reproduce the issue, but wasn't able to do so. Either it's that hard to trigger or it simply doesn't exist for *my* configuration. Chris, how much influence could the kernel drm and libdrm version have on those issues? I use Linux 3.7.5 and the recent libdrm from git.

I cannot decouple if the rendering issues have worsened with the newer driver (probably not) or if the newer kde framework and kwin is exposing bugs in a more aggressive way, but things have become a bit problematic with this newer setup. 1) Border of the toolbar disappears 2) Shades/light effects of kwin do not render properly and remain in place (often with distortion) after use 3) Some characters appear underlined in the konsole Moving back to uxa seems to fix all these issues, as well as the libreoffice rendering.
