I have been using emacs-lucid as a server for a few months & encountered
repeated sporadic annoyances. What follows is somewhat vague because I
cannot give a precise repeatable sequence of operations which lead to the
particular fault. Nevertheless, what I describe has occurred on far too
instances. The machine is a Lenovo P15v Gen 1 with an i7 8c/16t CPU using
Intel UHD graphics. I have Slackware-current on one partition & Fedore 34
on another. While this report is from the former, the *identical* results
happen on the Fedora machine. Furthermore, it makes *no* difference whether
it runs in console or xterm.

Launch emacs as a server. A buffer has a bash or elisp script with
font-lock-mode enabled (syntax highlighting). It looks just fine. Then, I
switch to another buffer & when I return, part of the file is not visible.
Close inspection shows that only text encoded as strings is rendered
black-on-black or white-on-white. Disabling font-lock-mode shows nothing is
missing! Again enabling font-lock-mode & the same text is missing. Killing
the buffer & reloading does not fix the problem. At this point opening any
new bash or elisp file with strings is futile. The only way to correct all
is a restart of the daemon! Of course, any setup of screens / consoles is
lost. However, no data is ever lost or damaged.

Here is the general scenario

tty1> launch a server
emacs --daemon
or
emacs --fg-daemon
or
emacs  M-x server mode

tty2> run Midnight Commander
mc
navigate -> .bashrc (for example)
emacsclient -t .bashrc

tty3>
mc
navigate -> file1
emacsclient -t file1
navigate -> file2
emacsclient -t file2
.
.
.

Initially everything behaves as expected in console & X. Then on time
scales ranging from minutes to hours with the various emacsclients,
randomly switching among tty's & killing / loading buffers, I eventually
see that .bashrc is displayed with "missing" chars.

Attached are two screenshots (before & after failure) of my .bashrc from an
xterm.
