Bug#636874: [gnome-shell] Characthers are missing randomly

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-1
severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

For me, this happened with the transaction to gnome3. Some of even all characters disappear. Sometimes, switching to text mode and switching back to graphical mode restores the normal display, however only for a little time, less than a few hours.
Attached image shows what I got. It renders gnome almost unusable. I can not launch new applications, could not use alt+tab to switch between applications.
I'm using a NVIDIA graphical card.
