Bug Description

After 12 days of uptime the sequence of locking screen/unlocking screen led to characters missing in prompt of login screen. The hint 'Password' that is written in the password entry field was missing characters as well.
After successful unlocking of a session, some labels and titles on panels and dock are missing as well.
I don't know if I pointed the culprit application correctly.
Attached is the snapshot of the upper right corner of the screen, showing the issue.
