[SOLVED] artifacts in several GUIs after upgrade

After I upgraded my system, in a lot of programs I encounter artifacts like this:

In most programs artifacts are present (i.e. firefox, thunderbird, gimp, scilab, ...), however some act normal (i.e. chromium, filezilla).
I don't know where to look for the source of the error, or which pkg I could downgrade as a quickfix.

Do you have an Intel card?

Thank you!
Yes. Downgraded the driver - back to normal.

You know why just a few programs have the error?

(Is there a mark as solved function?)

No.

Edit the title of your first post in this thread and put "[SOLVED]" at the beginning.

Perhaps you should submit (or add to) a bug report, as suggested by @Gusar in the thread I linked.

Thanks again!

btw: I also tried to edit the 20-intel.conf (set uxa) and stick with the new driver - but then my i3-bar setup whent messy (even with screennames still the same).
