Ctrangely "clipped" output in certain apps (terminals, both default and urxvt) and filemanager.

This is pretty difficult to explaing so I've included a couple of images:

https://ibb.co/58tFgXh
I'd love to include the output of "uname" and "dmesg" but even routing the data to a file gives me the same mess. If not entirely garbage then enough bunk to be of no use.
This began seemingly out of the blue. I am at a complete loss to explain, let alone solve, this. The keyboard works (I can use Firefox just fine obviously) and I can type commands into the terminal and they execute just fine, but as you can see I can't see what I type or the output from commands.
Anyone with an idea on what's going on here? I suspect I might have to reinstall the whole thing. :(
