I haven't reported this one as I never saw it working until recently, when I ripped few of my old DVD to mkv files. Anyway, here is the problem: in movies list, information regarding definition (SD/720p/1080/4k), CODECs and aspect ratio is pure lottery for m4v container (h.264 + AAC made with Handbrake and tagged with Subler), however it seems to work well for other cases: mkv container (tested with MPEG-2 with AC3 audio). Its the same on desktop version of XBMC. Is it just me or its for everybody?

Presumably everybody if it also affects desktop XBMC. I use NFOs that contain the stream information rather than depend on XBMC (mis)identifying, so haven't noticed any problem myself.
Perhaps if you can create a 100% reproducible test case with sample file it should be possible for it to be investigated further and hopefully fixed. Posting in a dedicated thread would also ensure more "eyes on".

Ahaha, I’ve got it! I’m submitting a pull request to XBMC in a minute.
There are three images now: one for the main glyph, one for the border, one for the shadow. 1773, 1777, 1777 pixels wide respectively. XBMC tries to pack them into one texture: it calculates that it needs 1773+1777+1777 = 5327 pixels, which is more than the limit of 2048. So it halves the texture width until it’s below the limit, getting 1331! I was just three pixels off, heh. Let’s make it reset to exactly the limit instead.
I noticed this issue yesterday already but didn’t realize it actually caused the corruption!
