I have similar issues with Xubuntu 14.04 LTS with HWE (kernel 4.4.0-66) and Intel Graphics (Skylake i7-6700k with HD 530 GPU).
In my below screen capture, I show a matlab window started on a remote machine via "ssh -Y" (left), and the same matlab started on the local machine (right). You can see the left window show blank text in various places. The file icons for the two files (initval.txt and wazu2...) on the file explorer panel also show white stripes (I've seen this on various context). This seems to happen only with Intel graphics, although I am not sure. ** Attachment added: "Left matlab: start via ssh and port forwarding; right matlab: start on local machine" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1533675/+attachment/4842828/+files/java_port_forwarding_bug.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1533675 Title: Screen issue with Java applications Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, I've an issue with ssh X11 forwarding while launching Java applications, it's a critical issue because I'm working with my laptop(with Ubuntu 15.10) for a customer and is impossible to dispatch all the requests. This is what I do step by step: 1- ssh -X user@customerserver 2- xclok <- it works well 3- /export/appl-data/oracle/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java -d64 -jar weblogic.jar 4- The X Java application starts but the fonts are "invisible" s you can see in the screenshot in attach. I don't think is a server issue but an Ubuntu issue because it works fine from fedora and windows 7 with Xming The server Java version is this: /export/appl-data/oracle/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java -version java version "1.7.0_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode) The server os is this: [user@customerserver bin]$ uname -a Linux customerserver 2.6.39-400.214.5.1.el6uek.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 30 16:43:43 PDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The server env is this: [user@customerserver bin]$ env HOSTNAME=customerserver TERM=xterm-256color SHELL=/bin/bash HISTSIZE=1000 SSH_CLIENT=10.173.150.18 34230 22 QTDIR=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3 OLDPWD=/export/appl-data/oracle/web/wls10.3.6 QTINC=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0 USER=user LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=38;5;27:ln=38;5;51:mh=44;38;5;15:pi=40;38;5;11:so=38;5;13:do=38;5;5:bd=48;5;232;38;5;11:cd=48;5;232;38;5;3:or=48;5;232;38;5;9:mi=05;48;5;232;38;5;15:su=48;5;196;38;5;15:sg=48;5;11;38;5;16:ca=48;5;196;38;5;226:tw=48;5;10;38;5;16:ow=48;5;10;38;5;21:st=48;5;21;38;5;15:ex=38;5;34:*.tar=38;5;9:*.tgz=38;5;9:*.arj=38;5;9:*.taz=38;5;9:*.lzh=38;5;9:*.lzma=38;5;9:*.tlz=38;5;9:*.txz=38;5;9:*.zip=38;5;9:*.z=38;5;9:*.Z=38;5;9:*.dz=38;5;9:*.gz=38;5;9:*.lz=38;5;9:*.xz=38;5;9:*.bz2=38;5;9:*.tbz=38;5;9:*.tbz2=38;5;9:*.bz=38;5;9:*.tz=38;5;9:*.deb=38;5;9:*.rpm=38;5;9:*.jar=38;5;9:*.rar=38;5;9:*.ace=38;5;9:*.zoo=38;5;9:*.cpio=38;5;9:*.7z=38;5;9:*.rz=38;5;9:*.jpg=38;5;13:*.jpeg=38;5;13:*.gif=38;5;13:*.bmp=38;5;13:*.pbm=38;5;13:*.pgm=38;5;13:*.ppm=38;5;13:*.tga=38;5;13:*.xbm=38;5;13:*.xpm=38;5;13:*.tif=38;5;13:*.tiff=38;5;13:*.png=38;5;13:*.svg=38;5;13:*.svgz=38;5;13:*.mng=38;5;13:*.pcx=38;5;13:*.mov=38;5;13:*.mpg=38;5;13:*.mpeg=38;5;13:*.m2v=38;5;13:*.mkv=38;5;13:*.ogm=38;5;13:*.mp4=3 8;5;13:*.m4v=38;5;13:*.mp4v=38;5;13:*.vob=38;5;13:*.qt=38;5;13:*.nuv=38;5;13:*.wmv=38;5;13:*.asf=38;5;13:*.rm=38;5;13:*.rmvb=38;5;13:*.flc=38;5;13:*.avi=38;5;13:*.fli=38;5;13:*.flv=38;5;13:*.gl=38;5;13:*.dl=38;5;13:*.xcf=38;5;13:*.xwd=38;5;13:*.yuv=38;5;13:*.cgm=38;5;13:*.emf=38;5;13:*.axv=38;5;13:*.anx=38;5;13:*.ogv=38;5;13:*.ogx=38;5;13:*.aac=38;5;45:*.au=38;5;45:*.flac=38;5;45:*.mid=38;5;45:*.midi=38;5;45:*.mka=38;5;45:*.mp3=38;5;45:*.mpc=38;5;45:*.ogg=38;5;45:*.ra=38;5;45:*.wav=38;5;45:*.axa=38;5;45:*.oga=38;5;45:*.spx=38;5;45:*.xspf=38;5;45: MAIL=/var/spool/mail/user PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/user/bin PWD=/export/appl-data/oracle/web/wls10.3.6/wlserver_10.3/common/bin JAVA_HOME=/export/appl-data/oracle/jdk1.7.0_45/ LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 HISTCONTROL=ignoredups SHLVL=1 HOME=/home/user LOGNAME=user QTLIB=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib CVS_RSH=ssh SSH_CONNECTION=10.173.150.18 34230 10.25.63.82 22 LESSOPEN=|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 _=/bin/env May I give you some other infos?
