Here's the input I typed (at the end of a line containing "US streaming dis-services have deleted many programs. "). Then I saw that the `e' at the end of `article' was missiing. SPC ;; self-insert-command T ;; self-insert-command h ;; self-insert-command i ;; self-insert-command s ;; self-insert-command SPC ;; self-insert-command a ;; self-insert-command r ;; self-insert-command t ;; self-insert-command i ;; self-insert-command c ;; self-insert-command l ;; self-insert-command e ;; self-insert-command SPC ;; self-insert-command g ;; self-insert-command i ;; self-insert-command v ;; self-insert-command e ;; self-insert-command s ;; self-insert-command RET ;; newline m ;; self-insert-command a ;; self-insert-command n ;; self-insert-command y ;; self-insert-command SPC ;; self-insert-command d ;; self-insert-command e ;; self-insert-command t ;; self-insert-command a ;; self-insert-command i ;; self-insert-command l ;; self-insert-command s ;; self-insert-command . ;; self-insert-command ESC DEL ;; backward-kill-word e ;; self-insert-command x ;; self-insert-command a ;; self-insert-command m ;; self-insert-command p ;; self-insert-command l ;; self-insert-command e ;; self-insert-command s ;; self-insert-command . ;; self-insert-command So I tried to fix that C-p ;; previous-line C-e ;; move-end-of-line ESC b ;; backward-word C-b ;; backward-char e ;; self-insert-command C-l ;; recenter-top-bottom DEL ;; delete-backward-char and found that the `e' was missing only on the screen -- the buffer was correct. Therefore I typed DEL. This bug in redisplay has been happening every few minutes this morning. I did not notice it happen yesterday, which surprises me now. This example is the simplest of those I have looked at recent-keys for. It has NOTHING unusual! I have a suspicion. I get tiny pauses even in typing ordinary input, as if something time-consuming were running frequently between commands. Those tiny pauses could affect how redisplay updates for these inserted characters, in a random, unpredictable way. I suspect this bug usually happens in the part of redisplay that updates the current line onl. Once I typed DEL and a character two columns leftward was erased. On the other hand, sometimes redisplkay fails to rewrite some lines, below point, and leaves then blank or with old contents. The problem seems to happen mainly in mail mode.
