Description Barry Jackson 2012-06-04 00:33:19 CEST
Description of problem: Missing words, button labels, extra spaces, missing URLS but underline is there.
This is in fully updated Cauldron (from pre mga3).

It is not present in a fresh install, however I get random KDE crashes (system reboots when adjusting Dolphin settings) so that is not an option at present. 

Attachment screenshots follow.

I notice that of the five severity levels in the drop down menu below only 3 are displayed, so it's also affecting this Bugzilla page.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
KDE
nvidia FX5600u using nouveau.

How reproducible:
Not sure yet but will test in other installations and with other users on the same h/w to try to pin it down.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.

Comment 4 Barry Jackson 2012-06-04 12:09:30 CEST
I reverted :-
libcairo2-1.12.2-2.mga3
lib64cairo2-1.12.2-2.mga3
to :-
libcairo2-1.10.2-6.mga2
lib64cairo2-1.10.2-6.mga2

after a suggestion by tv on -dev and the problem is no longer there.

Summary: mozilla ff, tb and other apps have text display issues => new lib(64)cairo2 breaks text display in FF TB and other apps

No it's NOT a cairo bug.
It's just unhiding a bug in the x11 driver.
Which one are you using?
