Display problems

I'm hoping someone has seen this problem before, I've got some strange marks appearing where characters should be on my screen, first noticed on the web browser but they are popping up all over the place now...

Any ideas what is causing them?

do this

root
dpkg --purge mp-fremantle-generic-pr
dpkg --purge osso-pdf-viewer
apt-get autoremove
apt-get install osso-pdf-viewer
halt
halt

Hmm. I very much doubt the problem is with the PDF reader itself.

That picture is just an example... I get in on other apps and in various other places...

I had something like that, but only in the titlebasr.
After a reboot all was fine again.

I had something like this, only a reflash fixed it.. unfortunately it seems to have just started happening again on the "All" menu item (see attached) :(

I've seen this quite a few times. A reboot always fixes it for me.

Thanks for the suggestion... have rebooted and now all is well.

It would seem that the IT approach of "cycling the power" does work quite a lot of the time!

It's a known corruption issue (though I can't find a bug number for it right now). And a reboot fixes it...

Sounds like Bug 7817.
