"Force GPU rendering" causes problems on ICS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Following was e-mailed to me:

I recently downloaded Androminion on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running ICS 
version 4.0.2 and got a visual bug which shrinks the app to just the lower 1/4 
of my screen. However, it would not show anything other than just a black 
screen w/ what looks to be a cursor (although I'm sure it's the bottom of a 
letter from your greeting). This bug only occurs when I use the developer 
option of "Force GPU rendering" (this forces poorly designed apps like 
Twitter/Facebook to scroll through text better), turning it off fixes this 
issue.

This is not a "crippling" issue since it is able to be toggled on & off to play 
the game, but some people may not think to look at that option on their phone 
to turn it off.  Considering the popularity of Twitter/Facebook & other text 
heavy applications that may not be designed to take appropriate usage of the 
GPU, it's a more common problem that crops up.

I was able to reproduce this.  The default setting for "Force GPU rendering" is 
off, so this issue will only occur for someone who has changed it.

No problems here with r573. Problem still valid?

I couldn't reproduce it with the old build anymore either (Galaxy Nexus ICS 
4.0.4).  Looks like one of the Android updates fixed it.
