            Bug ID: 95400
           Summary: Font rendering issues in TearFree mode
           Product: xorg
           Version: git
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/intel
          Assignee: chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
          Reporter: bougospam at gmail.com
        QA Contact: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I am getting invisible fonts in rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.22, in current Arch
Linux, using package xf86-video-intel version 1:2.99.917+645+g88733a7-1, which
matches the current master revision. Downgrading to version
1:2.99.917+641+ge4ef6e9-1 (commit e4ef6e9) solves the problem.

The issue only occurs when I enable TearFree mode in xorg.conf.d.

I can reproduce the bug consistently, although the conditions in which it
appears are not clear to me. I use the following rxvt-unicode config:
   URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-9
The terminal font becomes visible when I increase the size to 12 or larger. It
also becomes visible when I resize or move the window, or when I echo any text
in the shell (although the first line remains invisible then).
