Is this with or without double-buffering?  If without, then it is not
related to double-buffering, and should be reported separately.
AFAIU, the display code used when double-buffering is disabled was not
changed in any way that would explain these phenomena.  If you have
older Emacs binaries, I suggest to compare what they do on the same
system with what Emacs 29.1 does when double-buffering is disabled.

Even if you cannot show a reproducible "emacs -Q" recipe, it might
help to see a clear step by step recipe with your configuration, which
does reproduce the problem for you.
