When I set:

(set-frame-parameter nil 'undecorated t)

and then change to another window and back to emacs, then scroll
around the window, I often end up with a very messed up buffer and
have to run redraw-display in order to sanitize its contents. See
attached screenshot.

I've tested this in an environment featuring:

* Gnome 3.32
* Ubuntu 19.04
* Emacs built from emacs-26 branch (of course, run with -Q)

After restoring decorations the problem stop happening.

Any idea about what could be causing this?

Best regards
