GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700576
Top bar missing random characters and icons when using double monitor

Created attachment 244617 [details] screenshot of the issue If i connect a second monitor to my computer and start gnome-shell, some characters and icons in the top bar are missing. In particular the letter "t" and all the tray icons that are not updated are missing (they appear on mouse over, wifi icon appears when you connect to wifi and battery icon appears when you connect the charger) See the attached screenshot for an example.. NOTE: If the second monitor is connected AFTER starting gnome-shell, everything is fine. From these similar reports: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647588 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636874 It seems like the issue is not hardware specific, but related to dual monitor setups. version: gnome shell 3.6.2 (from ubuntu's 12.10 repositories)
What driver are you using?

(In reply to comment #1) > What driver are you using? nouveau (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu3) Graphic card is an ATI mobility radeon HD 4500/5100 Series glxinfo output attached
You're actually using the radeon drivers. nouveau is for NVIDIA chips. Which makes it a duplicate of the first bug, which seems to be radeon-only. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 647588 ***
