It happens with any buffer; even with an empty one.
This problem occurs also when I only have that lines in
the ".emacs" file.

I noticed that it occurs with some font and it does not occur
with other. For instance, it does not occur with DejaVu Sans
Mono. That is, it does not occur with the following lines:

(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(default ((t (:family "DejaVu Sans Mono" :foundry "unknown"
 :slant normal :weight normal :height 98 :width normal)))))

Another detail. When it occurs the text "Query replace:" is
not showed.
