Bug 94554

I can confirm this bug. Some more details:

1. It is also present with xf86-video-ati

2. When I compile it with the following autogen flags, the issue is not present: --prefix=/opt/xorg --enable-glamor --with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb --enable-config-udev

3. I use Ubuntu 16.04, so I downloaded the deb source and found the autogen flags that are used for the official deb package, and they are as follows:

--build=x86_64-linux-gnu lt_cv_prog_compiler_static_works=no --disable-silent-rules --disable-static --without-dtrace --disable-strict-compilation --disable-debug --enable-unit-tests --with-int10=x86emu --with-extra-module-dir="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules,/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules" --with-os-vendor="Ubuntu" --with-builderstring="xorg-server 2:1.18.2-1ubuntu0.2 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support)" --with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb --with-xkb-output=/var/lib/xkb --with-shared-memory-dir=/dev/shm --enable-mitshm --enable-xres --disable-xcsecurity --disable-tslib --enable-dbe --disable-xf86bigfont --enable-dpms --enable-xshmfence --disable-config-hal --enable-config-udev --enable-xorg --disable-linux-acpi --disable-linux-apm --disable-xquartz --disable-xwin --disable-xfake --disable-xfbdev --disable-install-setuid --with-default-font-path="/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,built-ins" --enable-aiglx --enable-composite --enable-record --enable-xv --enable-xvmc --enable-dga --enable-screensaver --enable-xdmcp --enable-xdm-auth-1 --enable-glx --enable-dri --enable-dri2 --enable-glamor --enable-dri3 --enable-libdrm --enable-present --enable-xinerama --enable-xf86vidmode --enable-xace --enable-xselinux --enable-xfree86-utils --enable-xwayland --enable-systemd-logind --with-systemd-daemon --enable-suid-wrapper --enable-dmx --enable-xvfb --enable-xnest --enable-kdrive --enable-xephyr --enable-xmir --with-sha1=libgcrypt --enable-xcsecurity

4. I rebuilt from git using the following flags (slight modification of the above flags), and was able to reproduce the bug:

--prefix=/opt/xorg --build=x86_64-linux-gnu lt_cv_prog_compiler_static_works=no --disable-silent-rules --disable-static --without-dtrace --disable-strict-compilation --disable-debug --with-int10=x86emu --with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb --with-xkb-output=/var/lib/xkb --with-shared-memory-dir=/dev/shm --enable-mitshm --enable-xres --disable-xcsecurity --disable-tslib --enable-dbe --disable-xf86bigfont --enable-dpms --enable-xshmfence --disable-config-hal --enable-config-udev --enable-xorg --disable-linux-acpi --disable-linux-apm --disable-xquartz --disable-xwin --disable-xfake --disable-xfbdev --disable-install-setuid --with-default-font-path="/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,built-ins" --enable-aiglx --enable-composite --enable-record --enable-xv --enable-xvmc --enable-dga --enable-screensaver --enable-xdmcp --enable-xdm-auth-1 --enable-glx --enable-dri --enable-dri2 --enable-glamor --enable-dri3 --enable-libdrm --enable-present --enable-xinerama --enable-xf86vidmode --enable-xace --enable-xselinux --enable-xfree86-utils --enable-xwayland --enable-systemd-logind --with-systemd-daemon --enable-suid-wrapper --enable-dmx --enable-xvfb --enable-xnest --enable-kdrive --enable-xephyr --with-sha1=libgcrypt --enable-xcsecurity

5. I ran a git bisect after building with the flags from #4, and found the bad commit:

# first bad commit: [0cd5b9525a8f661c6b2545c21ce1ba21577c009e] glamor: Use GL_RED instead of GL_ALPHA if we have texture_swizzle (v3)

    glamor: swizzle RED to 0 for alpha textures

I applied https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=a288cf58a0dc0f965a6f964c76bb86bb19  on 1.18.2

I still experience this red colour bug on feedly

In youtube html5 player, youtube chat text etc
its all reddish text.

Also in some svg icons for owncloud like this one; it renders red, it should be black.
