[Bug 1653513] [NEW] GTK+ Applications Randomly Lose Text on Wake from Suspend

[Jason Stephenson]

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 16.04 with mir, some applications (apparently those using
GTk+) randomly lose text on wake from suspend. (I am attaching screen
shots.)

This is random and it takes a while to manifest itself. I generally
leave my laptop on and logged in for days. Waking it and putting it to
sleep many times. After a few days, it will sometimes lose all text in
applications using GTK+. Interestingly, Firefox is unaffected, though
Thunderbird is.

The loss of text includes the menus in the menubar or inside the
application. The system menus also lose text.

Doing 3 things will correct the situation:

1) Restarting the laptop.
2) Logging out and logging back in.
3) Switching to a console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and killing the gnome-session. (This requires logging back in when the Unity session comes back.)

So, basically, gnome-session appears to be involved/the culprit.

Processor is Intel® Core™ i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4
