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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1533675 Title: Screen issue with Java applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1533675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
