I am currently running the latest kept yum version of emacs on Centos 6.6. The issues I am having is that sometimes when I type input, some of the input randomly disappears and will then reappear when I highlight where the missing input should be. Why might this annoying thing be happening, and is there a way to fix it? Also I have not made any edits to emacs preferences so they are set to the defaults, and never happened in Centos 6.5 but now does in 6.6.

I've noticed similar things in the browser (Firefox) and Libreoffice stuff when I enter stuff and scroll is done. I can recover "visibility" by dragging the mouse over it or scrolling the window. I'm thinking might be something X related?> <snip>Bill
As far as I can tell, doesn't affect chrome,eclipse, vi, or the terminal which are the only other programs I use on that computer. Although I can see how it might be X related.

If running in a terminal emulation window, try a different terminal emulator, i.e. xterm instead of gnome-terminal. Is it running on the same machine as your desktop or on a remote server? In the last several years I see a lot of display issues with remote x applications. Natarau
