Hello Bryce,

I will update the bug report tomorrow, as for today I don't have access to this system anymore.

As an update in general:

I tried to track down the problem, and as it seems to be font rendering (glyph cache), I tried a few options there.

The problem is only reproducible when

1) Font Antialiasing is on for Qt/KDE
2) Specific fonts are used (tried: Serif/Sans Serif, which should be an alias to deja-vu (default)

As soon as I either change fonts (tried with Arial) or disable font antialiasing I can't reproduce it anymore.

I will reproduce it for you tomorrow and add the output requested. Please note that in the meantime I updated the intel driver with the xorg-updates ppa, but the problem stays the same. Just as a sidenote, as the output will differ from what I wrote in the original report.

Thanks so far, kind regards

Christian
