Comment 10 for bug 717114

@Eric, hmm. Unless Stefano also sees it with web browsers, my preference would be to handle this as a terminal specific bug (we also have bug #718339 and bug #713440 about terminal-related corruptions, although both seem distinct from this bug). It's also easily conceivable that there is a terminal specific corruption as well as an unrelated firefox related corruption.

Anyway, so Eric I would like to have you file a new bug report (ubuntu-bug xorg), mention this bug report as possibly related, and attach photos showing the corruption you see - include both the Slashdot.org corruption case and the terminal case (gnome-terminal as well as xterm if possible).
