Details

Description:
Scrambled (text, graphics) of menu and text area in Libreoffice.

Menu:
https://paste.pics/1fabfad29631c8a212280715e67be258

Text area:
note that some text is covered by small graphics;
also "Select all" highlights half of selected area (this pattern is also present
in above menu example (half text, half graphics)).

A fallback from
xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+892+gc6cb1b19-1
to previous version
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+870+g6f4972d5-1
solved the problem.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+892+gc6cb1b19-1
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
Open Libreoffice writer, select View (or some other) menu item to see it scrambled.
Input few lines of text in text area and see garbage graphics over some text.
"Select all" for those text lines and see half-highlighted selection.

Is it better with modesetting driver? Because xf86-video-intel driver is more or less unmaintained upstream, you should avoid to use it.

Just because there are no stable releases doesn't mean xf86-video-intel is unmaintained. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/log/ looks reasonably active.

Try to bisect the error and report it upstream.
