[Solved]Strange artifacts on fonts

I have this weird artifacts on my fonts, I tried changing DE, from wayland to Xorg, but im not sure what is causing it. my computer is a notebook with a b960 old intel cpu, using latest mesa (not using xf86-video-intel) and updated. This things started happening a couple of weeks ago. I also tried changing fonts, mesa amber doesnt work, no difference between linux-lts and current.

Gnome-terminal

cinnamon keyboard config

Re: [Solved]Strange artifacts on fonts

Looks like its somethig specifically related to latest mesa 1.26.1, after downgrading to 1.26.0 or using mesa-git 1.26.2 the error disappears. As it looks like its fixed on a future update I will mark it as solved.

Re: [Solved]Strange artifacts on fonts

Thanks for that. I had vertical lines on my wallpaper on gnome and also I have some strange artifacts on fonts..... downgrading the mesa package worked.
