  • ;;(https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/PROBLEMS) ;; *** Display artifacts on GUI frames on X-based systems. ;; This is known to be caused by using double-buffering (which is enabled` ;; by default in Emacs 26 and later). The artifacts typically appear ;; after commands that cause Emacs to scroll the display. ;; You can disable double-buffering by evaluating the following form:` (modify-all-frames-parameters '((inhibit-double-buffering . t))) ;; Note that disabling double-buffering will cause flickering of the ;; display in some situations.
