Bug Description

When using gvim and some other apps, regions of windows will sometimes not repaint until the window is moved or otherwise interacted with. Someone posted a workaround patch on the upstream gitlab and it seems to fix the issue for me.

Upstream bug is here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-vmware/issues/8
