When I awoke my computer from suspend last week on Thursday (23/06/2016) I found that all the text from all the title bars was missing, so I restarted gnome-shell as this normally fixes such problems, doing so seemed to make some text appear, but most not, as you can see from these images until I restarted my machine it was almost impossible to use:

    Shutter_Main_Window_Font_Issue.png
    File_Chooser_Font_Issue.png
    Title_Bar_Partly_Missing.png
    Settings_Text_Issue.png

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20.

I initially filed this report here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1596698

The downstream report has the images I mentioned attached to it as well as further information and logs.

This is not a gtk issue. This kind of disappearing glyphs is almost certainly a driver problem.

A driver problem? So where should I report this issue? Sorry, it's just that it's happening a lot and I don't know where I should report it to. Just to the company making my graphics driver or something?

It should also be noted that this issue does not seem to affect gnome-shell areas, that is it is not seemingly present in the Activities Overview nor the Top Bar.
