| Apr 6, 2015 at 23:54 | comment | added | Allan Zhang | Thanks for commenting, and apologies for the delay. I'm running Windows 7 and I'm not using any special settings for the face in those buffers. The only thing I'm using is the custom theme monokai, and the problem persisted even with Emacs -q when I tried it. I honestly can't tell you how to reproduce the problem because I literally had a span of 4 days where nothing happened, and then it started happening again. If no one else has had this problem happen, then I'm guessing it's just something going very wrong on my end, so I'll just live with it unless it gets really bad. | |

If you can give a recipe to reproduce the problem that starts from emacs -Q (no init file), regardless of your platform, then please report it using M-x report-emacs-bug. Unfortunately, you say that it happens "occasionally" (and presumably unpredicatably). I too notice lack of refreshes occasionally with Emacs 24.4 (far more than with earlier releases), but I haven't found a good recipe to reproduce the problem. I have a feeling that they've tried to improve performance by skipping some redisplays that used to happen, and they've gone overboard. But finding the problem might not be easy.

What OS? Do you have any special settings for :height | :width | :weight in any face that is being used in those buffers? How about any special line height? How about any special line spacing? Since you get the top of every line, those are the likely suspects. Your default font would be the first place you should check for a strange configuration, since it's affecting everything. I would try using a plain 'default font with nothing special, and with no themes and see if your problem magically disappears. And, of course, try Emacs -Q -- i.e., with nothing at all.
