Switching to "Unity 2D" (*) seems to solve the problem for me. Can anyone else comment on their experiences?
(*) - To switch to Unity 2D, click the "gear" icon by your name on the lightdm display manager and select "Unity 2D". If there is no entry for "Unity 2D": 1) Login 2) Open a terminal 3) Type, "sudo apt-get install unity-2d" 4) Logout -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
