** Description changed: + [Impact] + * This makes it impossible to read some text (usually yes/no questions) in Libreoffice.

There might be a potential for a + performance hit in other cases? + + [Original Report] I get a font glyph corruption in various dialog boxes in libreoffice. This happens using the following graphic configuration: - *-display - description: VGA compatible controller - product: Bonaire [FirePro W5100] - vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
