DetailsDescription:
Since 1:2.99.917+552+ge41040f-1 there are distortions in the Firefox toolbars when hovering the mouse over them, see screenshot. This doesn't happen when using 1:2.99.917+519+g8229390-1. Both with Firefox 44.0.2-1. I haven't noticed distortions in other (GTK3-)applications.

If the reporter has the same issue as me, switching to UXA (from the default SNA) rendering method fixes the issue, but UXA has issues of its own so it's not really a solution.
The only machines experiencing corruption show under "lspci" as "Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset" as the VGA adapter. It's not all Intel GPU machines as there are other machines with Intel onboard graphics which are fine (either newer or older chipsets).
For the record, my lspci looks like:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
"Switching to UXA rather than SNA fixes the graphical corruption, but this in itself causes problems as it no-longer automatically uses the correct screen resolution by default for monitors greater than 1280x1024 in multi-monitor setups (e.g. monitor 1 will show 1600x900 just fine, monitor 2 despite being a 1080p monitor and XOrg's log showing 1920x1080@60Hz will just use 1280x1024 for unknown reasons, this only happens under UXA, not SNA). I'm not keen on switching back to UXA and manually setting the monitor resolutions isn't viable as any machine may be connected to any monitor at any time, so hard-coding it is a no-no."
