Does that GNU/Linux system has anything in common with your Windows
box?  The display, the keyboard, the filesystem, anything else?  Do
you have some common setup of any ind that makes those systems
similar?

Yes, the spaces show.

I believe you.  I just cannot reproduce this on any machine to which I
have access.

How many such empty lines do you have in the buffer where this lag
happens?  Your original recipe talked about a single line; is that all
that's needed, or are more such lines required?

Does the same happen in "emacs -Q -nw", i.e. a non-GUI (text-mode)
session?

Thanks.
