Description of problem: The font in the system-config-printer are fractured. I have attached a screen shot. pixels seem to be slightly randomized. This is started recently but I am not at all sure what has changed. Note this is only some of the fonts. The drop down menus are fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.5-5.mga5 How reproducible: Always now enclosing a png file illustrating the fracturing. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

mcc also has the same problem-- the sidebar menu items are also fractured.
Hmm. Sorry it seems to have been a problem with my kde. removing .kde4 and re-loggin in and the fonts are now OK. I think this can be closed. No idea what happened, but it is nice to have it work again.
What's the outpuf of the following command? lspcidrake -v |grep Card: Please also attach (not paste) your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Created attachment 7071 [details] xorg.conf Card:Intel 810 and later: Intel Corporation|82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:8086 device:2582 subv:8086 subd:4147) (rev: 04) Attached is xorg.conf Note, I went back to the old .kde4 where I was experiencing the problems, and the problems have disappeared. (I just moved away the new .kde4 and moved back the old one, did atl-ctrl-BKSP twice and relogged in). The fractured fonts are not there and my mcc refuses to start up for me unless I log in as root, just as it did on the new .kde4. Thus the reestablishment of .kde4 also seemed to have some other byproducts-- some changes elsewhere in the OS than just to .kde4
Created attachment 7075 [details] return of the corrupted fonts And the corrupted fonts have returned. No idea what triggered it. This is new picture of the mcc front page. Note the fonts on the menu bar on the left.
In the attachment the corruption on any line may or may not disappear if that line is selected, or something else it done. I have Focus follows Mouse, and if I move the mouse into another window, then the highlighted left menu item suddenly uncorrupts. It stays uncorrupted even if I return to that window until the mouse moves over that menu item again, or a neighboring one, or???? at which point it corrupts again.

The fractured fonts are still back, despite having done the latest update to the system. Also if I run mcc from another computer with X11 forwarding the fractured fonts are there.
Created attachment 7158 [details] Libreoffice menu fractured fonts The problem is also in Libreoffice menus. This attachment is of the Libreoffice menu showing the fractured font there.
And Gimp, and Sound Recorder, and Xsane have fractured fonts. But not k3b, not SystemSettings, not VLC, not KeePassX.

And now I logged out of the X window, and then logged back in, and the fonts in the various programs are not fractured. Ie, something seems to be progressively corrupting the fonts. Any hint as to how I can figure this out.
Tentatively this seems to be solved by the suggestion in bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16655#c75 Ie, add a line Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Section "Device" I have only tried this for the past 1/2 hour on a freshly rebooted 4.1.8 kernel (the problem I had was in 3.19.4 and got worse with time but also occured in 4.1.8) and the fonts seem to be OK. Will keep trying this and report if the font corruption reoccurs.
After 2 days, still no font corruption and not desktop corruption. This seems to have fixed the problem.
I am still getting corruptions of the graphics. Now it is not immediate, but sometimes if I leave a window open for a while, suddenly stuff will be corrupted. As an example I will include and attachment which is an image of an xmaple window which was left up for a while. ( about 4 days) When I looked at it this morning this is the mess I found. A large number of the lines in the graph had been displaced by about 20 pixels to the right. Ie, something in the Intel graphics driver is badly behaved. I am still using the Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The font corruption is also still present in the sense that if I leave a window open for a while, it becomes corrupted. In the past it was immediate (Ie I would open the window and the font would be corrupted). Now if I leave it open for a few days, I might find that the font is corrupted after a few days. One thing that might be correlated with this, is that another user uses the same computer with startx -- .1 and it seems as though their use of that other instance of X running is correlated with the corruption on my window. However, because everything is so sporadic, I have not been able to verify a causal relation.

Is this bug still valid?

No idea, but since I last updated to the latest cauldron (four days ago) I occasionally get the konsole screen having almost all of the lines with the same kind of corruption. Ie, it seems every second line of pixels or something like that is displaced to the right. This is not persistent So if I open another konsole, the original one fixes itself and the text is fine again. Not at all sure what triggers this font corruption.I have not been able to capture it yet in a picture. I also do not know if konsole is a gtk program. Note that this is far less frequent an occurrence than when I fist complained a year and a half ago. Certainly for the 3/4 year I have not seen this effect in Mga5 or Cauldron. This is in cauldron. I do not run Mga5 on the machine I am using these days (Dell xps13 laptop).
Just happened again. I opened okular from commandline in Konsole, and paged up through the many error messages okular produces. And suddenly the fractured screen came up. I tried to take a screenshot, but that act fixed the font on that konsole, so, except for some lines missing their bottom or top of all the characters, things looked fine. (Notice that this effect of as if a fold in the screen is quite common. Is it related to the fractured screen? No idea. -- I will include that screenshot just in case it is helpful.

I fail to see any missing pixels in that konsole screen /o\ When you look at the picture using a different system, do you then still see missing pixels?

Do you?
Nope. I also cannot see them on my current system. Strange. They were definitely there (or rather not there) when I posted. I have upgraded cauldron since then, so that may have been it.
