Comment 5 for bug 316588

I can confirm this also for me; it's more than a month I'm affected by this and it's very annoying.
Also, some other widgets are anti-aliased in a strange way; for example some web pages are rendered badly, or some widget borders flicker.

More irritatingly, these artifacts change when you type, so your attention gets easily carried away. It does stress your sight.
