[Bug 1262841] [NEW] Choosing check disc for defects in Ubuntu GNOME Trusty displays no readable text

[Erick Brunzell]

Public bug reported:

I've been testing Ubuntu GNOME Alpha 1 candidates and rather than
displaying text you just see a long string of rectangles.

I would normally not report a problem like this at "alpha" stage but I
think it may be loosely related to bug #1260473 and bug #1262824 in that
it may be gtk related.

You can however display the text of the test by pressing Esc if you wait
until the test is in progress.

I'll follow up ASAP with some pictures.
