Maybe this will give you some hints, I have a similar but less harmful
problem in my Debian Wheezy + IDE 3.5.13.2 installation:
- Sometimes scrollbars of GTK applications are drawn in strange
places, this is visible mostly in Palemoon, but sometimes in Geany
or GIMP too. Scrolling back and forth (or other refreshing
affected area) removes "fake" scrollbar.
- Rarely, one character of UI font gets damaged until relogin:
pixel line is missing, lower part is messed up, line is filled. It
affects all instances of a character. The same thing happens (very
rarely) for smallest icons, but never for UI parts or larger
(>=24x24) icons.
- Very rarely edited text in UI fields is missing, but selecting and
deselecting it makes it visible again.
- In LibreOffice text too long for field is drawn over field's end
entering form area, but can be edited in field only.
The problems in my case are probably related to poorly supported Intel
graphics chip (I'm using Dell D430 notebook) as only the last one
appears if the notebook is used not in a dock (in a dock
it runs dual 2048x1536 displays).

Hi All,
I've been round and had a look at his machine and seen the problem
1st hand.
In every application the letter on the menu bar that has an
underscore either at the begining or end has the letter missing.
Many of the folders have no visible name, but if you click to rename
the folder a blue bar appears the same length as the name if you
could see it. Most of the flyout menus have either the full name
missing or part of the name. There are spaces in the menus that a
completly blank. On logout there are similar missing letters and
blank spaces.
I also discovered that a number of items on the desktop were
marked "Read Only" and making them read/write allowed the app called
to work.
Hope this helps to find out what he has done. He swears that the
last thing he did was to copy pictures off his phone before going on
holiday, at which time everything was working. Since calling me he
has tried to update his machine by running Synaptic, without any
success.
Thanks Guys:
