This question already has an answer here:
How do I install drivers for an Intel HD Graphics?
3 answers
I've made some strange experiences ever since I upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04: Small vertical red lines are occuring next to (random) letters in almost every word that is displayed in any program. This is kind of annoying, since it renders a text hard to read. Changing of fonts does not help. Does anyone know what might cause this problem and could give me a hint regarding a possible solution?
I would highly appreciate that.

What driver are you using for the videocard? You might get better results switching to or from the open source from the proprietary version. If that is possible What make/model is it?

It's a Lenovo Ideapad 500s-14isk with low specs, i.e. Intel® Core™ i3-6100U CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4, Intel® HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) and 3 GB DDR3. As for the drive the Ubuntu installation came with i915, which seems to be proprietary. I am not aware of other drivers, but I would be thankful if you could name me some :)

@Rinzwind: Thank you for your suggestion. I added a PPA according to this post askubuntu.com/questions/87090/… and this resolved my problem.
