As if I resize the emacs window it can go away. See 2 attachments build with lucid. Only change is resizing window. > Do you see anything in the *Messages* buffer that could hint on the problem? No messages. Note I can't see it in gtk builds - but I can save the messages buffer to file and confirm its just the default message.

See attachments (remote display emacs lucid). I don't believe I have any local display issues. Sorry for the repeated links for the gtk menu bugs (long day), they should have been: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1700319 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/992464 > This bug says the problem is fixed in GTK+ 3.22.25. Can you try that version of GTK+? See table below. > Those are for Emacs 23, 24, and 25, whereas you said Emacs 25 workedf or you. So how can those be the same problems? And if they are the > same problem, clearly the solution should be in GTK+, not in Emacs,right? So Emacs 25.3 gtk3 displayed via *xming* also core dumps. Like I said the # of combinations is growing. Also feels like there we're dealing with more than one bug here. I'd feel a lot better if someone else could replicate. An attempt to recap (xming 6.9.0.31, VcXsrv 1.19.6.3) CentOS7, gtk: 2.24.31, gtk3: 3.22.10 | emacs | Xming | VcXsrv | +------------+-----------+------------------------+ | 25.3 gtk2 | ok | ok | | 25.3 gtk3 | core dump | display ok, menus bad | | 26.1 gtk2 | ok | bad, but menus ok | | 26.1 gtk3 | core dump | bad, menus bad | OpenSUSE Leap 42.3 , gtk2: 2.24.31, gtk3: 3.22.10 | emacs | Xming | VcXsrv | +------------+-----------+--------------------+ | 25.3 gtk2 | ok | ok | | 25.3 gtk3 | core dump | ok | | 26.1 gtk2 | ok | bad, but menus ok | | 26.1 gtk3 | core dump | bad, but menus ok | OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, gtk2: 2.24.32, gtk3: 3.22.29 | emacs | Xming | VcXsrv +------------+-----------+---------------------------+ | 25.3 gtk2 | ok | ok | | 25.3 gtk3 | ok | ok | | 26.1 gtk2 | ok | sometimes bad?!, menus ok | | 26.1 gtk3 | ok | bad, but menus ok | core dump references https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715 bad = bad display of minibuffer and main buffer. menu ok = refers to clicking File Menu and buttons.
