With the current master (and for a couple of months), I observe this redisplay problem where moving the cursor up or down, when the buffer is scrolled, the cursor may leave some ghost trace. This is with w32-use-visible-system-caret set to t. It seems the problem does not happen if this variable is set to nil. Picture with several traces of the cursor : [image: image.png] Best regards, Fabrice In GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2020-01-18 built on MARVIN Repository revision: 17db2bd9c17c84c647d8093a7f03f1b0a55ddcc4 Repository branch: windows Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 10.0.19041 System Description: Microsoft Windows 10 Education (v10.0.2004.19041.21) Recent messages: For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
