In this thread it's suggested to turn EXAPixmaps of as a work-around.
There seem to be performance penalities with that workaround - better workaround would be downgrading the package: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-driver ... 22730.html
There is already a fix (workaround) in xf86-video-ati Git - unless we build it ourselves, we just have to wait until it reaches repos.

On another system the screen freezes and becomes unresponsive. As suggested at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47266#c89 this is definitely a separate issue. |

| It may be a separate issue . . . but reverting to libcairo2/testing 'solves' the problem . . . so it still points to a libcairo2 'bug' |

Actually, the new version of Cairo only exposes the bug in xserver. Technically it isn't the Cairo's bug but xserver's. 
Anyway, the issue you're talking about is discussed in 668172 (although it's obviously also connected to Cairo, we shall see if the patch from fd#47266 fixes that as well) |

| Just did a d-u om my wife’s Thinkpad Edge and it looks like the problem is solved. I could see that there was xorg...files updating, maybe that was it? |

Yes, it is fixed with an update of xserver-xorg-video-ati: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666982
Code:
xserver-xorg-video-ati (1:6.14.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Cherry-picks from upstream git:
- r6xx-r9xx: force 1D tiling for buffer with height < 64
- Make radeon_setup_kernel_mem failures more graceful and verbose
- RADEONCopySwap: Fix RADEON_HOST_DATA_SWAP_16BIT case
- EXA: Support acceleration of solid pictures on R3xx-R7xx
- EXA: Support acceleration of solid pictures on Evergreen/NI
- EXA: Support acceleration of solid pictures on R1xx
- EXA: Support acceleration of solid pictures on R2xx
* The solid picture acceleration should fix the rendering mess people have
been seeing with cairo 1.12, and thus closes: #666982.

Is it fixed only for ATI cards? (I'm using nouveau.)
Thanks,

fairly annoying problem located to an upgrade in libcairo2 :
after the upgrade When using chromium browser and thunar the text gets distorted and unreadable .
Debian Bug report logs - #666538
libcairo2: text rendering broken with cairo 1.12
seems to be covering the problem
I'm seeing similar problems, except I don't even get that far. I'm using NX for remote X thin client (X2GO specifically) and the new libcairo2 (1-12-02) crashes nxagent.
These bugs are pretty significant UI killers and I'm somewhat suprised they haven't been patched yet.
I haven't done a full dist-upgrade yet, but my 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install libcairo2' says I have the latest.
Isn't this affecting the cairo dev team themselves?

Then, my system and yours differs on the graphic card. Yours is nvidia, mine is ati. Only a clue to find the culprit.

ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.12.1-1 Xorg X server - core server
ii xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20120322+ab7291d-1 X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver
so far, no more problems for me with libcairo2 1.12.2-1 |

Problem was NOT fixed with me with the new xorg and video drivers.
Videocard NVIDIA C77 [GeForce 8200] X.Org 1.12.1 [ 1280x1024@60.0hz ]
So I had to downgrade libcairo2 as mentioned above. |
