Thanks.  Here's what I eventually pushed:

  *** 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)))

  To make this permanent, add it to your ~/.emacs init file.

  Note that disabling double-buffering will cause flickering of the
  display in some situations.
