We (mostly Stefan) made redisplay faster by removing some triggers
that would redraw windows unnecessarily.  Such optimizations always
leave some fallout that needs to be fixed.

It is impossible to fix these problems without a reproducible recipe.
The only alternative is to wait for someone else to come up with a bug
report and a recipe, which will solve this problem as a side effect.
