Steps to reproduce: 1. Copy some non-ASCII string (say, "あ") to the clipboard. 2. $ emacs -Q -D & 3. C-x C-b 4. C-y 5. C-p Expected Result: The cursor moves upward by Step 5. Actual Result: The display is not changed between Step 4 and 5. Moreover, if you make the Emacs frame expose by obscuring and revealing it with another window after you turn off your X11 compositing manager, then you'll see the parts other than the upper mode-line and the echo area are not redrawn (see the attachment).
