Emacs Problem
I am currently running the latest kept yum version of emacs on CentOS
6.6. The issues I am having is that sometimes when I type input, some of the input randomly disappears and will then reappear when I
highlight where the missing input should be.
Why might this annoying thing be happening, and is there a way to fix it? Also I have not made any edits to emacs preferences so they are set to the defaults, and never happened in CentOS 6.5 but now does in
6.6.

If it limited to Emacs? I’ve noticed similar things in the browser
(Firefox) and Libreoffice stuff when I enter stuff and scroll is done. I
can recover “visibility” by dragging the mouse over it or scrolling the window.
I’m thinking might be something X related?

As far as I can tell, doesn’t affect chrome,eclipse, vi, or the terminal which are the only other programs I use on that computer. Although I can see how it might be X related.
This problem has been around for some time, certainly pre 6.6
It impacts firefox, thunderbird and gedit most noticeably on my system –
also these are the three windows I use most regularly. Not wanting to loose the features of compiz I have not yet tried disabling this, but have just now …. we’ll see if this improves the situation.
