You have been subscribed to a public bug: This can be seen on any window with sufficiently long title and sufficiently small window. The text is cut off on the right with an ellipsis (three dots). The problem is that the rightmost part of the text becomes transparent and looks very strange.
I have a screenshot (attached) that illustrates this bug.
