Description nothanks3u 2016-04-12 12:56:57 UTC

See http://i.imgur.com/bpkbuDf.png

This occurs at random, sometimes it will just happen within minutes of using KDE, other times it can take hours, and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. I do not know what triggers it but the menu text becomes unreadable (it looks like a mixture of font size going to 2 and some blurring but I'm not really sure what's happening).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leave KDE running whilst using PC and sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't

Actual Results:  
Menu text becomes unreadable

Expected Results:  
Menu text should not change

Arch linux 64 bit
NVIDIA drivers
KDE 5.6.1

This is a upstream Qt issue we used to see, check if you can get your hands on a newer Qt.
