Emacs screen corruption after global update

  • Quote

I recently recompiled everything with GCC-4.4.4 using emerge -e world --jobs 10 --keep-going.
Since then, my emacs (version 23.2.1) does strange things:

* the cursor is not visible on blanks
* some special characters, such as ' . and — do not invert but blink on/off. The character " switches between " and ' when the cursor is over it
* the cursor assumes the size of the character underneath. This is probably the underlying problem which explains both points above.
* when moving the cursor, sometimes a trace of the cursor is left, garbling the screen overtime
* when scrolling large texts, the screen is not updated right, i.e. parts of the window are not updated

It looks like a broken package emacs is depending on. I already tried to re-emerge freetype and emacs, with no effect.

CFLAGS were not altered (still -O2 -march=core2 -pipe).

In the meantime I rebuilt several packages with no result.

Output of emerge --info:

OK I cracked it down: when X Compositing is enabled (I set/unset this in XFCE Settings Manager), then the problem arises.
