+this is a documented bug, and only occurs when the window is moved.
+the excerpt below is from the Emacs README file...

Well, even after the window is resized there are all sorts of pixel droppings
on the display. They are not even only occasional, but pretty regular.
Similarly, I occasionally find the cursor not to be on characters, but between
them. ^L gets rid of them, but I still find it unappealing that I never know
whether a ':' is really a '.'. This problem occurs only on the Emacs frontend,
never with the terminal application. Thus, it can potentially be fixed...

Despite these bugs, I wouldn't want to miss having the frontend. I am grateful
to the authors.
