[bug] Weird text rendering issues on Ubuntu

[mrnossiom]

Hi there, My VS Code app behaves weird for rendering any character in certain circumstances, it mainly happens when I edit a filename. Usually, the whole file explorer is glitching, but when I tried today it only glitched a few filenames. Moreover, is seems to glitch out only git tracked files (one with a color for adding, deleting or modifying a file) I have no idea why this is happening. I've tried searching the GitHub repository for similar issues, but can't find any. I'm running the latest VS Code (1.75.0), installed via the official Microsoft apt repository.

I'm at your disposal to provide any further information that might help, and will be grateful to anyone who responds.

Thanks

NB: I've attached a screenshot where the visual glitch is clearly visible, as you can see on the two files in the examples' folder.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Having this bug as well on a fresh VSCode install.
Seen some corrupted text in Settings, though I cannot find/reproduce it right now. Edit: reproduced; added a second screenshot

This should get addressed as we update runtime, please disable hardware acceleration in the application as a workaround https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_40#_disable-gpu-acceleration
