Graphical problems with XFCE on any Arch Distro except Manjaro.

Hello, I have been having many problems with XFCE on other distros except Manjaro. Here are some screenshots of basically what is happening.

What could be causing this?

Hello and welcome.

What kind of video card do you have? It kind of looks like Intel SNA corruption. If you do have an intel driver, try changing the driver so that it uses UXA acceleration. (Note: the location of this file may vary depending on distro)

I am having similar issues and by changing font it goes away for a few days. I can right away change font back to original font and problem is gone, pretty wierd.

Re: Graphical problems with XFCE on any Arch Distro except Manjaro.

well my arch has this, too since the last xorg update(along with some other very annoying minor bugs).

manjaro is ~2 weeks behind arch(so it's a bit more tested but still very bugged if you use some not so common packages)

But you should also keep in mind that you should expect such things in those kind of distros - if you wan't something tested use deb stable or testing...
