Hi Hector, Thanks a lot for your reply.
I don't think this is related to the compositor. I played around with the compositor settings shown in your screenshot (I'm familiar with those), but it didn't make any difference. I've seen many rendering artifacts caused by bugs in the graphics stack over many years of using Linux, but this doesn't seem to be one of them. Kate/Kwrite are the only applications where I see this kind of corruption (Kile, for example, doesn't have this problem, but maybe it's because the spellchecker opens its own dialog window instead of showing one embedded at the bottom of the window like Kate and Kwrite do). My computer is an old Vaio laptop with an AMD Radeon HD 4000 series graphics card, using the free Radeon driver. At least in my system, most of the time the problem happens when I try to run the spellchecker for the second time. The first time I run the spellchecker, it works fine. If I close it and then try to run it again, I get the corrupted status bar. If I disable the status bar (Settings -> Show Statusbar) the corruption goes away (since there's no status bar shown anymore), but then the spellchecker bar doesn't show either in the second time. The end result of this is that I can only run the spellchecker once.
