Public bug reported:
After updating from 19.04 to 19.10 I noted that some apps don't redraw
their window(s) correctly. Affected apps include (it seems) all Qt-
based apps (including KDE and VirtualBox), as well as
firefox/thunderbird.
Unaffected apps include emacs, chrome, xterm.
The symptom is that an affected app will only redraw its window when
another X window redraws its window. If there is no other window, then
the app's window is not redrawn at all.
This is best illustrated with a video, which shows the problem using
konsole and kpat (both KDE apps) :-

I am using the intel graphics driver (no graphics card).
